Summary
Damir Karakaš: Flood
Damir Karakaš once again proves why he is one of the most respected contemporary writers in Croatia. We are proud to present The Flood, the sequel to his Personal Trilogy, which consists of cutting down a forest and celebrating. In his latest work, in addition to the well-known motifs of the forest, mother, father, village and war, Karakaš adds a new element to his literary alchemy - love. Written in a language that will make you read this book slowly, to absorb every word with the same rhythm with which the main character walks through worlds that no longer exist except in metaphor, The Flood will remind you that the search for freedom never truly ends. Like the main character of Karakash's novel, this novel will make you step through a kaleidoscope of opposites, to combine the incompatible, to search for love in war and war in love, and to find them again deep within yourself, after you have lost them to the world. Written in a deep, gentle and precise style that exudes lyrical poetry, The Flood is probably the most important novel you will read this year.
