| Synopsis: |
For the first time, Arno t Lustig's short story collections "Street of Lost Brothers" and "Indecent Dreams" and his novel "Dita Saxova "are brought together in an omnibus edition. As with all of Lustig's works, these tales reverberate with themes of loss and contradiction, with the torments of suffering and survival. In" The Bitter Smell of Almonds, " Lustig asks questions as old and as universal as humankind's search for the meaning of existence; and his characters, often juxtaposed against people or situations they cannot comprehend, attempt to come to terms with the unthinkable and with life itself." |
