Ojczyzna jabłek
Robert Nowakowski
WITOLD GOMBROWICZ LITERARY PRIZE 2022 - SHORTLIST (BEST NOVEL)
A moving tale of the annihilation of
the multicultural world that was pre-war
Bieszczady. A saga where generation after
generation grapples with the demons of
nationalism.
Selling Points
A tale of the madness of history and its
thousands of innocent victims that grabs
you by the jugular.
A terrifying description of the fall
of a world in which various nations,
languages and religions lived alongside one
another for centuries.
A novel that is enormously dynamic and
hard to put down.
The author teases out some little-known
and very dark strands of Polish history.
This book knows no taboos –
Nowakowski mercilessly recounts
the crimes on every side, which has had
major repercussions in the Polish public
debate.
A flood of terse language – though
the novel addresses difficult themes, it
remains highly absorbing.
Description
Bieszczady – now a range of wild
mountains in the southeastern part of
Poland – conceals a great many bloody
memories. For in Bieszczady, the Second
World War did not come to an end in 1945.
