Description
The White King by György Dragoman is a powerful and poignant coming-of-age story set behind the Iron Curtain. Eleven-year-old Djata's life is marked by uncertainty and longing, as he waits for his father to return home after being taken away by the State Security.
As Djata navigates the complexities of childhood, he finds solace in adventure and rebellion, but beneath his carefree exterior lies a deep-seated sense of loss and disconnection. When he uncovers the truth about his father's disappearance, he is forced to confront the harsh realities of life under the Iron Curtain.
This beautifully translated novel introduces a stunning new voice in contemporary fiction, offering a humorous, urgent, and melancholy portrait of childhood in a time of great turmoil. With its unique blend of humor and pathos, The White King is a compelling read that will stay with you long after you finish the book.
