Роман за Балканската и Първата световна война

Книгата е в много добро/отлично състояние.

In 1925 Balkan Wars’ veteran, Dancho Popov, returns home to his wife Vitka after ten years’ absence, dressed only in his underpants. Terrified that he will be arrested as a deserter he has walked from the Turkish border barefoot and at night-time. Vitka has to hide him. Neither is ready to reveal the truth about the immediate past. Dancho relives a horrifying symmetry in recurrent nightmares that feature hands and ropes. They are based on his capture by Senegalese soldiers in 1916 and his subsequent involvement in people smuggling between Africa and lawless post-war Marseilles. Vitka, an attractive “war widow” in a turbulent Bulgaria, has been drawn ever closer to her family protector, the hotelier Plamen Gospodinov. Her pregnancy will lead to murder. With great attention to detail and extraordinary narrative power this novel tackles major issues of prejudice and redemption.
