Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 21 December 1963: Having served 20 years for a murder he didn't commit, "Moth" exits Central Sofia Prison anticipating his first night of freedom. Instead he steps into a new and alien world--the nightmarish totalitarianism of Communist Bulgaria. In his first hours of freedom he traverses the map of a diabolical city, full of decaying neighborhoods, gloomy streets, and a bizarre parade of characters. A novel of grave wit, Zift unfolds in the course of a single, frenetic night, offering a fast-paced, ghoulish, even grotesque -- but also enchanting -- tour of shadowy, socialist Sofia. To achieve his depiction of totalitarian absurdity, Vladislav Todorov combines the methods of hardboiled American crime fiction and film noir with socialist symbols and communist ideological cliches. 21 December 1963: Having served 20 years for a murder he didn't commit, 'Moth' exits Central Sofia Prison anticipating his first night of freedom. Instead he steps into a new and alien world - the nightmarish totalitarianism of Communist Bulgaria. In his first hours of freedom he traverses the map of a diabolical city.

Book
perfect. Condition: Gebraucht. Gebraucht - Sehr gut Leichte Lagerspuren -Die Motte' orientiert sich stilistisch - worauf der Untertitel 'Roman noir' hinweist - an dem Film noir der 1940er Jahre. Todorov geht als postmoderner Autor spielerisch mit der Gattung um, obwohl seine Anleihen nicht verspielt, sondern immer Mittel zum Zweck sind. Mit einer ironischen Verbeugung vor dem sozialistischen Realismus beschwört der Autor im Gewand eines packenden Thrillers etwas ganz Reales herauf: die grausame Realität des Kommunismus in Bulgarien. Die Geschichte schlägt einen Bogen von der Zeit kurz vor der kommunistischen Machtübernahme im September 1944 und dem Sofia der 1960er Jahre. Nach 25 Jahren wird der zu Unrecht des Raubmords verurteilte 'Motte' aus der Haft entlassen. Sein ehemaliger Komplize, inzwischen Polizist, erwartet ihn, um zu erfahren, wo die Beute, ein Diamant, versteckt ist. Um dem Gedächtnis seines Kumpels auf die Sprünge zu helfen, mischt er ein Gift in dessen Essen, das 'Motte' innerhalb von 24 Stunden töten wird.Und 'Motte' macht sich auf die Suche, um sein Leben zu retten. Auf seiner Odyssee irrt er durch eine gespenstische Welt. Selten wurde die dehumanisierende Wirkung des realen Sozialismus so eindringlich heraufbeschworen. 190 pp. Deutsch.
