Krátky popis
A GUARDIAN AND FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR'The most exquisite
kind of literature... I've put it on a special shelf in my library
that I reserve for books that demand to be revisited every now and
then. 'OLGA TOKARCZUK, author of Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of
the Dead'Could not be more timely...It's funny and absurd, but it's
also frightening, because even as Gospodinov plays with the idea as
fiction, the reader begins to recognise something rather closer to
home... A writer of great warmth as well as skill'GUARDIAN'In equal
measure playful and profound, Time Shelter renders the
philosophical mesmerizing, and the everyday extraordinary. I loved

Hummingbird'An immensely enjoyable book which achieves depth with
an affable narrative voice'IRISH TIMES In Time Shelter, an
enigmatic flaneur named Gaustine opens a 'clinic for the past' that
offers a promising treatment for Alzheimer's sufferers: each floor
reproduces a decade in minute detail, transporting patients back in
time. As Gaustine's assistant, the unnamed narrator is tasked with
collecting the flotsam and jetsam of the past, from 1960s furniture
and 1940s shirt buttons to scents and even afternoon light.But as
the rooms become more convincing, an increasing number of healthy
people seek out the clinic as a 'time shelter', hoping to escape
from the horrors of our present - a development that results in an
unexpected conundrum when the past begins to invade the present.
Intricately crafted, and eloquently translated by Angela Rodel,
Time Shelter cements Georgi Gospodinov's reputation as one of the

most prestigious literary prize twice and have been shortlisted for

Premio Strega Europeo, the Bruecke Berlin Preis, and the Haus der
Kulturen der Welt Literaturpreis. He has won the 2016 Jan Michalski
