Serhiy Zhadan INTERNAT

nācis klajā 2017. gadā, tulkots 21 valodā un saņēmis dažādas balvas, to vidū ERAB Literatūras balvu 2022. gadā. Tas ir stāsts par karu, kas atnāk pēkšņi un kam neviens nekad nevar būt gatavs; par to, kā tuva un pazīstama vide pēkšņi pārvēršas par svešu, draudīgu teritoriju. No ukraiņu valodas tulkojusi Māra Poļakova

A new Ukrainian language teacher goes to pick up his thirteen-year-old nephew from a boarding school located on the other side of the city, but it turns out that unexpected warfare has begun in the neighborhood, chaos reigns, shootings occur, and it's no longer clear who is friend and who is enemy. At any moment, a mine could explode underfoot, homeless dogs roam around the ruins of destroyed houses, and apathetic, helpless people wander through the apocalyptic cityscape. The novel "Internat" was published in 2017, translated into 21 languages, and received various awards, including the EBRD Literature Prize in 2022. It is a story about war that comes suddenly and for which no one can ever be prepared; about how a familiar and close environment suddenly turns into a foreign, threatening territory. Translated from Ukrainian by Māra Poļakova.
