Více o knize

The paper explores how both protagonists evolve in their perceptions of otherness, shaped by their personal experiences. While one fully embraces this concept, the other makes only tentative steps toward acceptance. Their journeys include developing sexual feelings for another species, which enhances their understanding of diversity. Additionally, the narrative serves as a platform for social criticism, tackling issues such as racism and homophobia, thereby enriching the discussion on acceptance and identity.
