Description
In Prague, a biologist devoted to his work finds his carefully ordered life upended by a sudden, consuming infatuation. What begins as a summer encounter quickly turns into a kind of madness—love as obsession, reason as something that can be outpaced and undone. As his feelings intensify, the story traces how desire reshapes identity, priorities, and the very way he understands the world around him. With Ivan Klima’s incisive, psychologically sharp style, this is a poignant tale of doomed longing and the fragile boundary between fascination and self-destruction.
