Prvá a posledná láska

Two novellas whose subject is love, though not the kind the word usually brings to mind. In the first, a successful photographer begins to doubt the meaning of his work in a rapidly changing world; in the second, a retired man doing volunteer work has to come to terms with the dramatic fates that the twentieth century prepared for humankind. Neither story has an erotic spark at its centre. What drives both heroes, through all their failures, is a secret, unacknowledged and often unrequited love of life, their own and that of the others without whom it would have no meaning.
