The Harvest of Chronos

Sprednja platnica
Istros Books, 2017 - 378 strani

An epic, homourous and quite unique historical novel which looks at Central Europe in the 16th century - a territory plagued by ceaseless battles for supremacy between the Protestant political elite and the ruling Catholic Habsburg Monarchy, as well as the ongoing battle between the sexes. In Kumerdej's wonderful saga, history and fiction intertwine in wavelike fashion, producing a colourful portrait of the Renaissance; permeated by humanist attempts to resurrect antiquity through art, new scientific findings, and spirited philosophical and theological debates.
