The book of selected essays by Vladimir Orlov is a kind of time machine that will help the reader to make dozens of journeys, invariably united by the search for Belarus and – the unique juicy and coarse humor of Orlov. The destinations will be Minsk at the beginning of the 1990s and Berlin with the wall between the two worlds that collapsed just yesterday, Georgia during the time of Zviad Gamsakhurdi and the Sahara of pre-revolutionary Tunisia, the roof of the still intact World Trade Center in New York and the Stockholm apartment of the 2011 Nobel laureate poet Tumas Transtremer… Together with the writer, the reader will be able to feel the changes that have taken place in our country and the world for a quarter of a century. The essays included in the book were translated into more than twenty languages.
