Kronika zániku Evropy
Author: Vlastimil Vondruška
14,76 €
The Wagner family prepares for a world it no longer trusts. Vlastimil Vondruška combines a family saga with dystopia: one part draws on events from 1984 to 2019, while another develops a fictional future after 2020.
Sociologist Adam Wagner advocates building a protected residence for family and friends. It is intended to separate them from an anticipated collapse, but the attempt to create safety encounters conflicts in the wider world.
Personal lives connect with the author's interpretation of European change. Fear of the future shapes the characters' decisions and their idea of a close-knit community. The future developments form a literary scenario growing from the novel's historical starting point.
E-book. Length: 784 pages. Formats: EPUB, MOBI.
