Description
It's easy to discuss poverty. But we don't really want to look at it. They should have tried harder. They're lazy. They lack interest in their own development. They lack education. These and many similar statements can be heard about unemployed and poor people in all developed democratic societies. Including the parents of German journalist Anna Mayrová, who has experienced enough of such talk. Even from people from whom she would expect more understanding. She used to be ashamed of her background and her parents' unemployment, but she has changed her stance. She realized that society needs an image of the poor and incapable so that everyone else can feel good, so they can congratulate themselves on their success in life. In her uncompromising and successful book 'The Misérables', Mayrová tells the story of her family while also defining herself against this societal need. She tries to imagine a world that can do without the image of the unsuccessful.
