Description
One of the most successful prose works by a well-known author and screenwriter, a gripping story of a former popular politician, revealing the backstage practices of power while simultaneously focusing on fundamental questions of human morality, the desire for survival, opportunism, courage, and cowardice. Ráž's originally radio play was staged by stations from Canada to Ireland, Switzerland, and Germany after its success at home. The author then adapted it into a thrilling novel, the translations of which have already been published in several countries. Faust Dies Twice is a model political thriller about the relationship between the individual and power, but it is also an exciting psychological novel in which one remarkable human fate is filled with desire, courage, and fear. The author explores where conformity with the powerful begins and ends, where the boundary lies, how far a person is willing to go for their benefit, and under what conditions human existence still makes sense, where the boundaries between reality and fiction lie in politics.
