Opis

Stoyo Petkanov, the deposed leader of a former Soviet allie, is on trial. His adversary stands for the new ideals, the leader for the old - or so one would think. But Petkanov is different and, when given his day in court, he only increases the discomfort and suprise of those around him.

Recenzje

Critics have overlooked his tenderness, underestimated his intelligence, and denied his wisdom... The Porcupine is a superbly accomplished novella Nick Hornby
