Beschreibung
A new novel by the four-time winner of the Magnesia Litera award ***** The train travels through the nineteenth century and heads towards us. Once the richest man in the world, John D. Rockefeller discovered the power of oil and also the fact that having power means having the right to want anything. George Sand found that she could be the freest woman in the world, smoke a pipe, love and betray both men and women. And create. And Božena Němcová? She has some sort of husband, four children, a wolf's hunger, and immense talent. And around her is a nation that neither helps nor forgives. And a desperate need for freedom and writing in spite of it all. ***** This fundamental and multi-layered novel by Radka Denemarková confronts the lives of these three individuals in short episodes, not for their sake or history, but for the themes that have continued to repeat in various forms since then — women's freedom, the ruthless power of money, and the invisibility of poverty, the vastness of the world and the smallness of one nation… and the indomitable power of art!
