House of Day, House of Night wer. angielska

A new novel by the Nobel Prize-winning and New York Times bestselling author of "The Books of Jacob" and "Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead" explores the vivid narratives of a small, remote Polish village. Despite its limited population, the village brims with the tales of both the living and the deceased. Among its unique characters is a man named Marek Marek, who startlingly realizes he shares his body with a bird, and Franz Frost, plagued by nightmares originating from a recently discovered planet. The village is also the site of an unusual death, where a man passed away with one leg in Poland and the other in the Czech Republic, causing an international stir. Furthermore, the presence of Germans, who once considered the area their homeland, continues to linger. Through stories ranging from the town's beginnings to the lives of its saints, a rich tapestry of both history and a broader cosmology is woven. "House of Day, House of Night," akin to Olga Tokarczuk's International Booker Prize-winning "Flights," exemplifies how the narrative of any place, regardless of its seeming insignificance, holds infinite depth.
