Krátky popis
For the denizens of mythical Primeval, its fields and forests
bounded by two rivers, the world beyond is nothing more than a
dream. Yet their stories – or Times – are a microcosm of the
tumultuous recent history of the world. The fortunes of the family
of Michal the miller, whom conscription carries away in 1914,
punctuate nearly a century of war and occupation. The outcast
Cornspike raises her daughter among the creatures and spirits of
the forest. The squire Popielski loses his faith and becomes
obsessed with a game where progress is attained only by dreaming
the right kind of dream. Non-human beings – trees and mushrooms and
archangels – have their Times too, as do inanimate objects, which
may be ‘more important for the world than people’. Alongside
bloodshed and betrayal, the dramas of Primeval’s daily life mark
the birth, life and decline of its little world and Time, making us
consider afresh the stories that help us comprehend and navigate
our own. Rich with the capaciousness and innovation that have
brought Olga Tokarczuk to sustained international fame, Primeval
and Other Times is an enduring masterpiece by one of Europe’s most
inventive novelists.
