Description from the seller

With this first book dedicated to Jacko Vassilev, the lactobacillus bulgarius, roses, and umbrellas are now relegated to the status of accessories in a trivial, seasonal pastiche. (...) Vassilev's characters roam the countryside, both literally and figuratively. Miserable peasants or mentally handicapped individuals, they are the true damned of the earth, pariahs in the aim of another pariah, once imprisoned for trying to cross the Iron Curtain. Whether focusing on the defeated of life or victims of communism, this gallery of portraits is both a Human Tragedy and a moving attempt to save from oblivion lives that have almost disappeared into the folds of space and time.
