Anna In w grobowcach świata

Olga Tokarczuk

Jeden z najstarszych mitów w historii ludzkości we współczesnej odsłonie. Ponadczasowa, metafizyczna i zarazem głęboko ludzka powieść, którą Olga Tokarczuk uważa za bodaj najważniejszą w swojej twórczości. Tokarczuk, ożywiając mit, projektuje wizję współczesnego umierającego świata, zagubionego w mirażach autofikcji, który może ocalić jedynie moc autentycznej opowieści. LE SOIR Olga Tokarczuk wraca do czasów, kiedy opowieści snuli wizjonerzy i szamani, kiedy nie generowali ich scenarzyści z Hollywood czy twórcy gier komputerowych, a prawdziwi mistrzowie sztuki gawędy. Dlatego tak fascynuje i dlatego tak wgryza się w pamięć ostatnich czytelników w posttekstowym świecie. SME Gdyby w naszych czasach książki mogły wywoływać rewolucje, nazwałbym powieść Olgi Tokarczuk książką rewolucyjną. Olga Tokarczuk na tę jedną książkę wymyśliła gatunek, język i zupełnie nowy sposób mówienia. I osiągnęła niebywały rezultat. W języku polskim zadźwięczała nuta tak czysta, że dech w piersiach zapiera. Tak brzmi wielka literatura. PRZEMYSŁAW CZAPLIŃSKI
