Krátky popis
The devil's neatest trick is to persuade us that he doesn't exist.
Giovanni Papini It is a maxim that both rings true in our
contemporary world and pervades this tragicomic novel of anxiety
and evil set amid the horrors of World War II. As a gay man living
in a totalitarian, patriarchal society, noted Czech writer Ladislav
Fuks identified with the tragic fate of his Jewish countrymen
during the Holocaust. The Cremator arises from that shared
experience. Fuks presents a grotesque, dystopian world in which a
dutiful father, following the strict logic of his time, liberates
the souls of his loved ones by destroying their bodies first the
dead, then the living. As we watch this very human character a
character who never ceases to believe that he is doing good become
possessed by an inhuman ideology, the evil that initially permeates
the novel's atmosphere concretizes in this familiar family man. A
study of the totalitarian mindset with stunning resonance for
today, The Cremator is a disturbing, powerful work of literary
horror.
