Pinguïn Reeks

Duik in een post-Sovjetlandschap waar misdaad, zwarte komedie en bijtende politieke satire clashen. Deze serie volgt gewone individuen die navigeren door een chaotische wereld vol geweld, corruptie en bizarre omstandigheden. Verwacht onverwachte wendingen en scherpe humor, vaak met een onwaarschijnlijke dierlijke metgezel die verrassend cruciaal blijkt. Het is een unieke mix van het absurde en het diep menselijke, tegen een achtergrond van maatschappelijke onrust.

'Rich, authentic and entertaining' New Statesman Discover the darkly funny follow-up to cult classic Death and the Penguin Viktor - last seen in Death and the Penguin fleeing Mafia vengeance on an Antarctica-bound flight booked for Penguin Misha - seizes a heaven-sent opportunity to return to Kiev with a new identity. Clear now as to the enormity of abandoning Misha, then convalescent from a heart-transplant, Viktor determines to make amends. Viktor falls in with a Mafia boss who engages him to help in his election campaign, then introduces him to men who might further his search for Misha, said to be in a private zoo in Chechnya. What ensues is for Viktor both a quest and an odyssey of atonement, and, for the reader, an experience as rich, topical and illuminating as Death and the Penguin.
