Więcej o książce
The Second World War has ended, but the anticipated relief and change do not come. The war has shattered existing values, and nothing new is in sight. Only violence remains. However, Martha does not believe in violence. Her knowledge is a hope that cannot be substantiated, as her world crumbles around her. The only hope she holds is the idea of a journey to her second homeland, England, where she will carry something that will open the gates of truth for her: the writings of Thomas Stern, her former lover, who could not bear reality and became unhinged. This madness does not lead him to unknown territories but rather provides a clearer insight into his own existence, and what he claims will prove to be true: "I am now the norm."
