Beschreibung
A great novel of Central European fantasy. Radek Rak immerses himself in the mythology of ancient Galicia in his novel, where historical figures and events are cloaked in legends. We follow the fate of young Jakub Szela, who becomes a bandit and leader of the peasant uprising against the nobility in 1846. However, Rak's book presents to readers, much more than historical facts, the need for myth and mythical storytelling, from which modern society is drifting away. We move on the border of history and mythology — seemingly dead things come to life, fairies and wise snakes intervene in people's destinies. At the same time, the story of Jakub Szela speaks of social injustice, which is relevant in almost every era. Radek Rak wrote a novel about good and evil that resides in each of us, about unequal opportunities, about Galicia and Poland — all conveyed in an unusually vivid language.
