Stoyan Vassilev: Of One Language, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Of One Language unfolds in the remote Bulgarian village of Arcadino during and after World War II, as its characters struggle to stay rooted amid the sweeping ideologies of the twentieth century and the persistent undertow of tradition. Told through interwoven voices--a disabled boy yearning for friendship, a brilliant but disturbed girl, a cynical opportunist, and a grave-digging mystic--the novel explores the collision of ideology and faith, memory and forgetting, community and solitude. As propaganda reshapes truth and neighbors turn on one another, small acts of conscience begin to surface. Through intimate portraits of the villagers' inner lives, the novel asks what it means to resist; not with slogans of violence, but with love, silence, and moral clarity.
