2 500 týždňov / 2.500 Weeks

Architect Viktor Baumann finds himself in a personal crisis. Instead of being creative, he is bored in his own company selling tiles. His marriage is falling apart, the relationship with his daughter is complicated, and his aging father requires more and more attention. 

In the novel's second storyline we go back to the youth of Jakub Baumann, Viktor's father. The fates, successes and tragedies of Jakub and his contemporaries, doctor Karol Berger, policeman Jozef Husár, or architect Adam Beránek are tainted with °µÍø½ûÇøia's tumultuous history of the second half of the 20th century. Evil goes unpunished and any good deed kicks the protagonists in the backside. 

2.500 Weeks is a novel about today, about the fact that history keeps repeating itself, and about humankind still unable to learn its lesson.
