Opis

As every schoolboy knows, you can fit the whole of England on the Isle of White. Grotesque, visionary tycoon Sir Jack Pitman takes the saying literally and does exactly that. He constructs on the island The Project that is monstrous, risky, and vastly successful. In fact, it gradually begins to rival Old England and even threatens to supersede it.
