Bøker av Borislav Pekic

First published in 1977, this novel of ideas follows Konrad Rutkowski - professor of medieval history and former Gestapo officer - as he returns to the scene of his war crimes determined to renounce, or perhaps justify, his Nazi past.

This is the final volume in a trilogy of novels - also including The Rise and Fall of Icarus Gubelkian and How to Quiet a Vampire - about the aftermath of World War II, by Borislav Pekic, one of the former Yugoslavia's most important postwar writers. The narrator tells his story from prison, where he is serving time for the murder of a former Nazi official.
