The novel is set in a fictional place called "The City of Pleasure," a grand amusement park designed to entertain and enchant its visitors. The park, a marvel of modern engineering and entertainment, represents the pinnacle of contemporary society's pursuit of leisure and pleasure.The story follows a diverse group of characters, each with their own motivations and desires, as they navigate the opulent and often superficial world of the City of Pleasure. Through their interactions, Bennett examines themes such as the pursuit of happiness, the allure of materialism, and the impact of modernity on human relationships.
