Reading and talk
Szczepan Twardoch
Moderation & translation: Olaf Kühl
Reading voice: Johannes Wördemann
War, struggle and human abysses are the themes of Szczepan Twardoch's life and can be found in all his books. Over the last two years, he has traveled as a Polish author several times into the middle of the war, right up to the zero line, the front in eastern Ukraine, and has been on the road and in conversation with soldiers, officers, strategists and the people on the ground. In this vividly narrated and existential book, Szczepan Twardoch writes about the war, looks back at his grandfathers who fought in the two world wars, considers the 20th century and reflects on violence with Thucydides. Richly informed by his experiences and readings, by his conversations with people for whom everything is at stake, this is a great story about the human condition, about life and freedom, death and courage.
