A collection of short stories that can also be read as a novel. Sixteen stories that reflect the whole 20th century like a kaleidoscope: childhood in a Russian village in 1941, a bitter romantic duel in post-war Prague, a literary detective story in Munich in the 1990s... In a thrilling rhythm, we meet confused scientists, renegade communists, cheeky girls, melancholic mothers and brutal criminals or lying writers. Land of Fathers and Traitors is a haunting book about people who are doggedly searching for an answer: How does the horror of the past take hold of today's man.
