The novel was released by a Wrocław publishing house and is titled "Depth".
Viktar Marcinovich's new book "Depth" has been released by the Wrocław publishing house KEW, bellit.lnfo reports.
In this post-apocalyptic novel, the author explores the problem of Belarusians' division, the difference in values, analyzes the ethics of relationships between people inside and outside Belarus, and also attempts to identify historical patterns that would prevent irreparable mistakes.
"What will happen to us if we suddenly find ourselves on different sides — of the country, of history, of our own lives? One country splits into 'before' and 'after'. Into those who stayed and those who disappeared, taking with them language, memory, civilization. An entire world falls apart into pieces, and each begins to live by its own laws. But the story's heroes remain bound by a common past, by choices that cannot be undone, and by questions for which there are no easy answers. Can we become whole again? And does anyone even want to?"
Viktar Marcinovich has created a tense and emotional work about the rift that runs through people's destinies. It has everything: the experience of leaving and its price, the complex ethics of relations between "ours" and "others," internal conflicts that offer no peace. This is a thrilling novel with a love story and an ending that is, in fact, just the beginning.
The book can be purchased online on various platforms.
Viktar Marcinovich had not published novels in Belarusian for eight years.
