Více o knize
The book presents literature as a unique exploration of imperfection and defeat, contrasting it with disciplines that promote certainty. It argues for the importance of studying failures and disappointments in history, suggesting that literature captures both the valuable and the overlooked aspects of past experiences. Through chapters that examine the interplay between literary and historical writing, as well as religious discourse, the text highlights the socio-historical context of East-Central Europe, offering a provocative perspective on the role of literature in understanding human existence.
