Description: New Book, Polish edition The novel won the Booker Prize.Colombo, Sri Lanka, 1990. A time of brutal civil war.Maali Almeida - a war photographer, gambler and salesman - is killed. His body rests at the bottom of Lake Beira, and his soul flies away to an absurd office, a kind of visa office in the afterlife. There, Maali is given seven days to solve the mystery of her death and close unfinished earthly matters.However, in Maali's case, death could come from anywhere. As a photographer whose photos have the power to overthrow governments and prevent wars, he has enemies everywhere - from government henchmen through the Tamil Tigers to revolutionaries. The search leads through his tangled relationships and complicated relationship with his mother, as well as the landscape of a country ravaged by a bloody civil war.There are few novels that bring to mind Agatha Christie, Salman Rushdie, John le Carré and Stranger Things - but this one manages to do it."The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida" is a fairy tale for adults because it is a fairy tale about a civil war. The ancient Greeks believed that when such an event occurred, everyone had to take sides. Maali tries to live her life as a gambler and accidental lover, and above all: a photographer. When the desire for involvement comes, he thinks it is not political at all. Only in a place that in our civilization would be called purgatory or Sheol - where you talk to wise leopards and inept bureaucrats - can he realize how wrong he was. This is a great read and the ending is cathartic.Wojciech EngelkingThe above description comes from the publisher.Are you looking for other books? let us know and we will try to find them for youWhen you choose UPS shipping, you can add several books and you only pay for shipping once :)If you are looking for some other Polish releases please let me know :)
