Description
The Weight of Silence is an intimate and dramatic novel by Stanislav Struhar, reflecting on relationships between parents and children while offering an empathetic view of people’s lives in contemporary society. Its distinctive lyrical style and timeless theme create a powerful portrait of Lisbon and Toulon. When Oliver arrives in Lisbon to visit his grandmother, he is already a grown man, yet it feels as though he spent his childhood there only yesterday. He remembers his grandfather, who once found happiness again in Lisbon. They share not only their origins but also a love of literature, and the city opens itself to Oliver in all its colours and languages, making him feel at home. One day he meets a young woman he once hurt, and his life takes an unexpected turn. This edition presents the novel to Czech readers in a Czech translation by Markéta Kliková, who has twice received the Translation Premium awarded by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Housing, Arts, Culture, Media and Sport for her translations of his works.
