Purpurni vek
Lajos Zilahy
"Purpurni vek" is the first book of the trilogy about the Dukajs.
The action takes place in Europe around 1848 and follows the story of two brothers from Hungary who are completely politically and ideologically different: Dali Dukaj is an ardent lover of freedom, while Antal Dukaj is a conservative bureaucrat.
A young diplomat returns from Barcelona devastated by parting with his beloved wife. And yet, he soon meets a new love. But when he is about to crown that relationship with marriage, his former girlfriend returns.
Minerva, 1984.
Serbian. Latin alphabet. Hardcover with dust jacket.
This is a wonderfully clever little book that challenges our expectations at every turn. For most of the story, the narrator is on the run from unnamed pursuers as he flees down the Croatian Adriatic coast.
