Paperback. Condizione: New. In his novel The Eighth Wonder of the World, Plevnes takes his dark sense of humor and undeniable wit on a search for a common ground in an uncommon world. His protagonist Alexander Simsar, during the last 3.3 seconds of his life in Berlin in 1989 (weeks before the fall of Berlin Wall), envisions the creation of a monument-an eighth wonder of the world-that would embrace humanity in all its layers and countenances. In this absurdist novel, Plevnes invents a utopia that unites many of the differences in the world: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and even Satanism.The Eighth Wonder of the World is yet another of Jordan Plevnes's parables of hope. His preoccupation with the role of beauty in the context of social, religious, and cultural differences is front and center, as is his central question: Does humanism have a prospect of survival in the future of humankind? Plevnes suggests that survival and idealism can be found in beauty and art -and that only beauty and art have the power to save the world.

Softcover. Condizione: As New. Originalverpackt. Ende 1989, kurz nach dem Fall der Berliner Mauer, hat Alexander Simsar, Nachkomme mazedonischer Fassadenmeister, einen Traum. Nach einem Sturz von uber 50 Metern auf einer Berliner Baustelle kehrt er in seine Heimat zuruck, um ein Bauwerk zu errichten, das die Menschheit versohnen soll. Mit wohlwollender Unterstutzung von hochster Stelle entsteht seine ,Wiege der Welt" auf einer Bergkuppe mit Blick auf den Ohridsee und den Prespasee. Doch unerwartete Schwierigkeiten treten auf, und beim Richtfest kommt es zu einem fatalen Eklat. Der Roman verwebt Realitat und Traum im Stil des magischen Realismus und ist eine Hommage an den menschlichen Optimismus. Er strebt an, das Unsichtbare sichtbar zu machen und ein Wunder zu schaffen, das Asthetik und Natur verbindet. Durch eine Mischung aus Schwermut, Ironie und humoristischer Inspiration entsteht eine Distanz zu den Ereignissen, die das Unmogliche moglich macht und das Irreale real erscheinen lasst. Der Autor prasentiert eine neue Utopie und einen neuen Kosmopolitismus, als wurde alles im Sinne Schopenhauers auf uns warten. Der Roman ist eine lyrische, humorvolle und zartliche Erzahlung uber den idealistischen Kampf eines mazedonischen Architekten, der in einer Welt ohne Utopien gegen internationale Intrigen antritt.
