Description
A group of five men sets out to fish for trout in a stream, just as they did in their childhood, unaware that they will touch something sacred in the process. While Lady Death lays her traps for them and nature, thrown out of balance, sends one disaster after another to the village, the reader is drawn into the fates of the main protagonists interwoven not only with love stories but also humorous incidents and lively celebrations of the Central Bohemian countryside. A book about love in long sentences. After the novel debut Life Sentence, which caused quite a stir in the Czech literary scene, Martin Jun comes with a thematically and stylistically different book. With narrative sovereignty, he presents readers with a rich mosaic of life in a forgotten village, where the transience of the individual is subordinate to the belonging to the community, and where superstitions, myths, and prejudices hold an irreplaceable place. For the villagers, reality is not what actually happened, but what they talk about among themselves.
