Paperback. Condition: New. The time is the twilight of the decrepit Brezhnev regime, the place, the Soviet Socialist Republic of Moldavia: the "Latin periphery of empire." A pensioner seeks justice for his dead wife, crushed by a falling crane--the very symbol of the "construction of socialism"--but comes up against hostility from a cynical system at best indifferent, at worst contemptuous of human life. With a keen, Gogolian eye for the grotesque, often squalid, details of everyday life in the USSR, Iulian Ciocan paints darkly humorous but compassionate portraits of Homo sovieticus, from crusty war veterans and lowly collective farm workers to venal Party bigwigs, as each comes to the disturbing realization that the lofty ideals of Soviet society were lies all along. And for idealistic young pioneer Iulian, the biggest disillusionment of all will be the abrupt revelation of Brezhnev's mortality.

First Edition
Condition: Good. First Edition. Het zelfgenoegzame leven van Nistor Polobok, een corrupte ambtenaar die op het stadhuis van Chi?in?u werkt, neemt een gevaarlijke wending op het moment dat het asfalt naast zijn majestueuze villa openbreekt. Het begint als een onopvallende barst, maar de scheur breidt zich alsmaar verder uit en wordt uiteindelijk een enorm gat dat steeds grotere delen van de stad verzwelgt. Volgens een waarzegster wordt de uitdijende kloof veroorzaakt door een zonde van de ambtenaar. Alleen de 'Hartenvrouw' kan hem vergeven. 'Hartenvrouw' is een verontrustende roman die met de nodige ironie de onderbuik van een corrupt systeem verkent. De schrijver laat het politieke toneel op zijn lelijkst zien en werpt daarbij een kritische blik op het Moldavi? van na de val van het communisme. Iulian Ciocan (1968, Chi?in?u, Moldavi?) is romanschrijver, journalist en literair criticus. Ook is hij commentator bij Radio Free Europe. Zijn romans werden al in meerdere talen vertaald. 'Hartenvrouw' verscheen in 2018, en is zijn eerste roman in Nederlandse vertaling. In de serie OOST! verschijnt nog niet eerder in Nederlandse vertaling gepubliceerd werk van Oost- en Midden-Europese schrijvers.; Paperback met fris en schoon binnenwerk. Omslag is OK, maar de hoekjes staan licht omhoog.
