Summary

Jáchym Topol: Cold Earth

*The book is underlined with a ballpoint pen.

Chladnou zemím (Chladnou zemí, 2009), the last novel of one of the leading contemporary Czech writers, Jáchym Topol, has so far been translated into all major world languages and has been awarded the prestigious Czech literary award "Jaroslav Seifert". (2010) From there people (mostly Jews) were taken by train to Auschwitz. After the fall of the communist regime, a few inhabitants of that forgotten and desolate place, led by the main character, also the fictitious narrator of the novel, and his mentor Uncle Ilko, come up with a way to commercially exploit the growing interest of foreign tourists in this, now neglected, place of tragic human suffering and suffering.

Soon, numerous souvenir shops, restaurants, and even discotheques begin to spring up in Terezín, and the main character (whose name we never learn) receives an offer to implemented his commercial-business project in Belarus, a country where "the devil had his workshop" and where "the deepest graves, which no one knows about", are located. There, the plot of Topol's novel begins to take on a new, completely macabre dimension...
