Meer over het boek
A frenetically imaginative debut, bursting with vitality and originality, this novel follows Jakub Procházka, an orphan raised in the Czech countryside by his loving grandparents. He rises from a small-time scientist to become his country’s first astronaut. When a perilous solo mission to Venus presents an opportunity for heroism and a chance to atone for his father's past as a Communist informer, Jakub boldly ventures into the unknown. However, he leaves behind his devoted wife, Lenka, realizing too late that he has sacrificed their love for his ambitions. In Deep Space, he encounters a possibly imaginary giant alien spider, who becomes an unexpected companion. Through philosophical discussions on love, life, death, and even bacon, they forge a deep emotional connection. As Jakub faces secret Russian rivals, he must navigate the challenges of space and his own heart. Rich with warmth, suspense, and surprise, this exuberant tale offers readers a journey of boundless entertainment and profound insights, making it a remarkable and delightful read from start to finish.
