The Wanderer of the Century

The novel is a grand literary experiment - an attempt to see the 19th century from the 21st century, exploring the roots of contemporary conflicts. It is a peculiar dialogue between the classical novel and avant-garde form, which connects history and modern issues: emigration, multiculturalism, nationalism, women's emancipation, all embedded in a vibrant plotline filled with intrigues, mysteries, and humor combined with a sharply individual style.

«The literature of the 21st century belongs to Neuman and his blood brothers» (Roberto Bolaño).

The novel has been awarded the Alfaguara Prize, one of the most prestigious literary awards of the 21st century, among others.
