PROJET
TERMINÉ
We have chosen to include internationally recognized authors in this project, and this year we decided to use the Fund to publish the second work of 3 authors, we've already introduced, and introduce one new author. Not only the books possess an important artistic value, but they also examine aspects of social and mental problems. Besides, they have the potential to rise the attention of a wider public. We consider it essential to make them accessible for the Hungarian readers.Margherita Dolcevita deals with important social and environmental issues—including the destruction of forests and natural habitats, consumerism, the growth of cults, the power of advertising, and the ostracism of "outsiders"—but the use of magic realism creates a darkly comic, even absurd, view of the world and keeps the tone light—at least until the serious conclusion.101 Reykjavik is a first-person account of a blackly funny and bizarre love triangle, a dark, comic tale of sexual culture, prejudices, and suppressions. But this lusciously deadpan narrative is infused with a wild, anarchic take on the world that is caustically, worryingly truthful. In her new, important and provocative book, Alt, Janne Teller again asks difficult and uncomfortable questions about assimilation and exclusion, prejudice and intolerance, identity, violence. Trenchant and intense, with concise, laconic prose and powerful use of metaphor, she challenges the reader to reflect and discuss complex and controversial issues. The Shock of the Fall is inspired by the author’s own experiences during 10 years working as a nurse on psychiatric wards in Bristol. The problem of mental illnesses among young people is gaining more and more importance in now days society. Schizophrenia is often deeply misrepresented in popular culture; in reality, for many the disease causes a sense of deep isolation and withdrawal from society. It is this prosaic, lonely experience of illness which Filer captures so effectively in his novel.
