our decline

The novel Our Decline takes shape on the border between realism and surrealism and, with a bitter, unsparing tone, probes the fractured layers of both the individual and society. It is a work set on the threshold of revolution in an aristocratic yet decaying atmosphere where reality turns into nightmare and characters vanish one by one into the depths of time, soil, and illusion. Our Decline while a personal tragedy is also a reflection of collective collapse- the story of people who are buried not only in history but in the heart of a garden.
