Beschreibung

A runaway slave, a wandering spirit, and an Egyptian cat intertwine in this lyrical exploration of power, freedom, and the building of civilizations.

In Robert Perisic's A Cat At the End of the World, a nameless slave escapes ancient Syracuse, finding an unlikely companion in Miu, an Egyptian cat. Their journey intersects with the Scatterwind, a spirit adrift through time, witnessing the rise and fall of empires. From the sun-drenched shores of ancient Issa to the heart of colonial ambition, Perisic, translated by Vesna Maric, weaves a tale of human-animal bonds, historical fiction, and philosophical depth.

Is it possible to build a new world free from the shadows of the old? As Kalia and Miu navigate the complexities of freedom, they confront questions of power, identity, and the enduring search for belonging. Perfect for readers seeking literary historical fiction with a touch of the mystical, this novel invites you to ponder the forces that shape our lives and the unexpected connections that define us. Will they find solace in their newfound freedom, or will the weight of history prove too heavy to bear?

A runaway slave, a wandering spirit, and an Egyptian cat intertwine in this lyrical exploration of power, freedom, and the building of civilizations.
