As it turned out, the seriously ill woman was a former KGB colonel and had met Stus many times, especially in the last days of his life. The novel vividly depicts the life of the poet in his native Donetsk region, surrounded by friends, educators, and writers, and in the concentration camp — where prisoners of conscience were held, being blamed for their beliefs.

Because the reader wonders: why only a year, when one wants more? On one hand, it is a passionate erotic saga about alluring female legs in black tights. On the other, it is a story about a complexed person, pushed to action by their own demons in their head. And in sum, it is also an interesting, witty look at Ukraine from the outside, through the eyes of a foreigner who finds everything about us strange and not entirely normal. In short, this is not just a successful novel, but also a ready script for a tragicomic and slightly erotic series. I only hope that its hero does not become the next president. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAndriy Lyubka, novelist, poet, translator, and essayist\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e   Recently, modern Ukrainian literature has been saturated with sad themes and plots for a reason, but both readers and critics lack contemporary light writing that allows for relaxation and lifts the mood. Yaroslav Litvyn captures the \"wave\" even earlier and writes the novel \"The Year of Klaus Otto Bach's Debauchery,\" which you are currently holding in your hands. This is an extraordinary text that will make everyone forget about the daily grind and problems; the novel disarms, relaxes, increases serotonin, and fosters love for the Motherland. What Otto Bach will do to your consciousness, you will only find out after reading... And a year of debauchery is guaranteed for every adult reader. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKhrystya Vengryniuk, writer, candidate of philological sciences,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eeditor-in-chief of the publishing house \"Chorni Vivtsi\"\u003c\/strong\u003e»\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e   I haven't read such a funny book in a long time! Well, funny... The main character is an awkward, insecure man with a bunch of childhood psychological traumas (in a word, every reader can recognize themselves in him) — a naive, lovesick romantic. You constantly feel sorry for him, and at the same time, you regularly have to pause your reading to recover from fits of laughter. A series of tragedies of a little man turns into a true Odyssey through Wonderland, filled with adventures, discoveries, and dangers. And interestingly, while describing this country, the author makes nothing up — it’s all as it is. And here you don’t know whether to cry or laugh, or both at the same time. It’s both a detective story, and satire, and a psychological study, and an adventure novel. And, of course, a love story — sweet, tragicomic, and incredibly touching! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtem Polezhaka, poet\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Ранок (Skadi RK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47336085946715,"sku":"KZK12396","price":13.45,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4025\/6238\/files\/rik-rozpusti-klausa-otto-bakha.png?v=1768131382"}],"url":"https:\/\/kazka.no\/en\/collections\/modern-prose-of-ukraine.oembed","provider":"KAZKA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
