Grandfather Fell in Love

At the center of the sharp plot is the complex family life of a middle-aged, yet passionate host of the "ART channel," Vsevolod Rigin, suddenly struck by late, irresistible love. Is it the collapse of the old way of life or a new twist in fate? Moreover, the reader will be drawn into the detective search for three mystical rarities — Pushkin's golden thimble, a button from the generalissimus's jacket, and a vase by supremacist Malevich. All of this is told in an engagingly interesting, entertaining manner, with the trademark Polish irony transitioning into sharp satire…

● The pages of the new release feature: a cunning comedy, a family saga, production satire, political grotesque, and mystical realism — all in the trademark Polish style.
