Etna - diskuze

A NEW YORK TIMES MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2026An unforgettable novel of a working dog, Etna, who, after a devastating war, embarks on an odyssey in the hopes of returning home. 'In barely 200 pages, Yoon hands the reader a piercing classic about survival and about the search for home and family…’ FT'Gorgeous…a sublimely quiet depiction of loneliness and disorientation.' Hernan Diaz, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Trust and In the Distance‘For all its compactness, Etna has the shape of an epic. The story draws explicit comparisons to Homer’s The Odyssey… the novel is tied deeply into both ancient literary tradition and tragically perennial concerns’ AtlanticSet in a fictional country in the present day, this is a story told through the eyes of an ex-military dog, Etna. After surviving years of a devastating war, Etna decides one night to leave the men he has fought alongside and return home - to the place where he was taken from when he was young, in the thin but persistent hope that if a home exists for him, it might be there. Thus begins an exhilarating odyssey told through the eyes of a dog as he traverses across ruined landscapes and fights to survive in a world that proves, even in peacetime, to be just as precarious as in war. Along the way, he encounters other animals and humans who are trying to resume their lives again. What makes a life when there is no home to go back to? How do we begin to trust each other again
