Boye K. Astarta. V konechnom schete
| Author | Boye K. |
| Title | Astarta. V konechnom schete |
| Description | Astarte — this is the name advertisers gave to the golden mannequin in a fashionable shop window. The ancient Phoenician goddess, consort of the terrifying Baal, returns in the twentieth century as a beautiful faceless doll — a demon of insatiable consumption that destroys souls and lives. Here she becomes a symbol of modern civilisation, endlessly attractive from a distance yet soulless up close. Beauty turns into manipulation and objectification, journalism lies and deceives, and the silks displayed in shop windows are paid for with the lives of children in distant countries — as if more than ninety years had not passed since the novel was written.
"Reckonings" is a cycle of psychological sketches and novellas about a person’s estrangement from their own self. |
