Excerpt from The Fifth Seal
Wislicenus took a comb out of his pocket, smoothed his hair and irritably ran it through his greying beard to which he could not get accustomed. Ever since he had let it grow in Moscow it had added ten years to his age. I can still be recognized, and besides there is no longer any reason for disguise. Just a stupid game of hide-and - go - seek, he thought absent-mindedly as his eyes fol lowed the rows of neat stone and brick cottages which slowly dragged by the Window.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex inner world of Wislicenus, a man haunted by a past shrouded in mystery and violence. As he travels through Germany on a diplomatic mission, his dreams and waking thoughts become intertwined, revealing fragments of a life that reads like a third-rate thriller. Set against the backdrop of rising political tensions and the looming shadow of war, the narrative explores themes of identity, disillusionment, and the moral complexities of revolution. Wislicenus grapples with his own mortality and the legacy of his actions, questioning the sacrifices made in the name of a greater cause. Through his interactions with fellow travelers, including the enigmatic ambassador Kangarov and the introspective General Tamarin, the author paints a nuanced portrait of individuals caught in the currents of history. This book ultimately challenges readers to confront the uncomfortable truths that lie beneath the surface of ideology and the human cost of pursuing revolutionary change.
