| Summary: | Lasha Bughadze's «Bolo Zari» (The Last Bell) is a book about
the lost generation who has neither a present nor a valuable future,
where they would be able to realize themselves, where they would
become citizens who determine the pulse of country, city or street
life. This is a generation that has grown up in poverty, war, fear and
sadness, who is confused and does not know how to get out of there,
how to escape. This foggy misunderstanding puts their life a fatal
sign.
One of the first writer’s works is dedicated to all those
teenagers who go through an extremely sad and at the same time
exciting path in the process of searching for themselves. We see the
author's observation in a hint of comedy that reaches the point of
absurdity, we laugh not only at the characters and behaviors of the
book, but also at ourselves which we found in them.
The relationship of the young people depicted in the novel is
devoid of feelings, empty and funny, because they have to think
about small things, things that actually do not give them anything.
Despite the grotesque, the book accurately conveys the reality
in which not only the writer, but also his entire generation had to
live. The devaluation of values, the new world, with its
unconventional approaches, determines the tragedy of their lives.
The feelings caused by reading «Bolo Zari» (The Last Bell) are also
multifarious, at the same time it is full of: sadness and irony,
grotesque and tragedy. |
