Summary
Anna Bolava: U mraku
Following the story of Anna, the heroine of this novel whose life is determined by deadlines, either for the delivery of collected medicinal plants or for the delivery of translated texts, the reader immerses himself in a literary journey that takes him from a sunny summer day to a sudden storm accompanied by thunderous thunder, from the smell of an old linden tree to a stale hospital room, from liberating bike rides and tours of the meadows where it grows dandelion, nettle, rosopas, yarrow, all the way to the attic full of dried herbs, foreign sounds and restlessness lurking in the darkness. Anna Bolava, writing pages about life in a small Czech town, wrote a magnificent novel about the body, vulnerability and loneliness, a novel about the constant play of light and darkness.
