The Man Who Almost: Satirical Novel of the Republic of Meridia baixar o livro de graça

A hotel developer buys a new name in a ballroom for forty credits, on a cheque that
bounces. Forty years later, he is the Eternal Custodian of a country that never quite
decided it wanted him.



Welcome to the Republic of Meridia — eleven time zones, forty-one million people, and a
national anthem that runs four minutes and forty seconds, two of which are just the word
Meridia, sung slowly.



The Man Who Almost follows Melvin Krell from a self-help seminar to the presidency
of an invented country, told entirely through the institutional record — memos, minutes,
invoices, and the numbers nobody wanted to publish. Seventy-six chapters, five parts, and
six rules the narrator refuses to break: he is never described, he never gets the last line
of a chapter, and every claim he makes is followed by the number that proves or disproves it.



Illustrated with more than eighty original plates in a two-colour institutional style —
cream, sepia, and a single mustard-ochre spot colour reserved for the machinery of power —
this is satire that counts instead of shouting.



For readers of measured, absurd, thoroughly documented political satire.
