Twilight

The Nobel Peace Prize-winning author presents a thought-provoking work that delves into the complexities of the human mind. "I am going mad, Pedro. I feel it. I know it. I have plunged into madness as into the sea. And I am about to sink into its depths . . ." These haunting words capture the turmoil of Raphael Lipkin, a man who finds himself communicating with unseen voices and spirits. He spends his summer at the Mountain Clinic, a psychiatric facility in New York. Though not admitted as a patient, Raphael is on a deeply personal mission, fueled by his own hidden struggles. As a Holocaust survivor, he painstakingly rebuilt his life, only to watch it unravel once more with a sense of horror and helplessness.Central to his longing is the figure of Pedro, the man who once saved him in postwar Poland. Pedro became Raphael's guide, mentor, hero, and friend, steering him through the fine line between truth and deception. However, Pedro's fate took a cruel turn when he disappeared into the depths of Stalin's gulags. Driven by the need to understand the reasons behind his own survival, Raphael searches among the patients, each grappling with their own delusions, for insights into the fundamental questions of morality, madness, and the essence of good and evil.
