Summary

Olga Tokarczuk: Bjeguni

"In a far eastern city, vegetarian restaurants are usually marked with red swastikas, ancient signs of the Sun and life force. This makes life a lot easier for a vegetarian in a foreign city - just look up and go towards that sign. They serve vegetable curry, pakoras, samosas and korma, pilaf, fritters, and also my favorite rice sticks wrapped in dried leaves algae. After a few days, I'm conditioned like Pavlov's dog - as soon as I see the swastika, I drool."

Polish Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk wrote The Fugitives as a dedication to travels and escapes, searches for meaning and aimless wanderings. As a fascinating intersection of time, place and space, this extraordinary work is a collection of longer and shorter stories that fit together like a colorful kaleidoscope. The Fugitives are proof that the most famous contemporary Polish writer earned the 2018 Nobel Prize for Literature and the Man Booker International Award for her earlier work.

"The Croatian reader gets The Fugitives in his hands at the moment when, at the will of a hyperactive virus, the constantly changing world almost stopped in an instant. Reading in the shadow of quarantine gives this novel, one of the most important in our time, a completely new perspective and dimension." – Mladen Martić

"A book that will enrich everyone." - Natalia Szostak, Gazeta Wyborcza

– Kultura.onet.pl

"In a world where we are just beginning to become aware that the ideology of consumerism and disposability will soon destroy and kill us, Olga Tokarczuk's work describes the opposite pole of that narrative: the search for spirituality, great respect for nature, the need for care and depth in contact with other people, and above all - solidarity with every existence, with the Other, whoever he may be." – Małgorzata Rejmer, Kulture

"Olga is a mystic in constant search for the truth, the truth that we can expect only in movement, crossing borders. Every form, institution and rigid language means death." – Kinga Dunin

"A beautifully fragmented look at man's longing for constancy...ambitious and complex." – Washington Post

"The world broke into pieces and flew in all directions. Therefore, the novel exploded." – Jerzy Sosnowski

"Undoubtedly a masterpiece." – Publishers Weekly

"There is no better traveling companion in these turbulent, fanatical times." – The Guardian
