Samo pridi domov

Leon Berden is a sharp young lawyer whose career is going well. He presents himself as a righteous, rational and brave man who stands up, like a great moralist, for those exploited by a corrupt society. His wife is cold and distant, drawn into politics as a state secretary for the sake of advantage, and has too little time for their little daughter; with his lover, by contrast, the world seems gentle and understanding, and he lets himself believe this is the real thing. Against a familiar background of deceit, tycoons, legal machinations and banking malpractice, the novel first lets Leon charm the reader and then shows him as he is: irresponsible towards everyone around him, himself most of all. What, it asks, is truly worth anything in our small lives?
