Description
Jiřina Šiklová's new book, through fictional dialogues, narratives, and theoretical explanations, brings closer the concept of death as a fundamental life fact that we, to our own detriment, push out of our thinking and speech - and often the dying person along with it. We humans are the only creatures aware of our own death. Yet we are afraid to talk about it and often do not allow our loved ones who are departing to do so either. This tension escalates, and people today die almost without farewells and the expression of last wishes. Jiřina Šiklová's book breaks this unwritten taboo and, through fictional dialogues, narratives, reflections, and theoretical explanations, brings this period of human life closer to the dying and those who accompany them. It is not a manual, but rather an invitation for us to seek a way to the other, at least in the last days of life.
