Zvon

In a village on the border between Slovakia and Moravia, Catholics, Lutherans, Jews and Czech Brethren live together in harmony and understanding, until the voice of a bell, the voice of God, enters their lives. This is no tale of the dark Middle Ages: it happened last year, or the year before, and similar stories may be happening right now. Where did so much selfishness, intolerance and malice suddenly come from, so much brutality and cruelty, the demons around us and within us? The book calls itself a village novel with a bad ending.
