Description: Nadja: The Librarians Hope by Gregory Andrusz Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The story is inspired by Greek mythology and is set in a small Tuscan hilltop town which, as a microcosm of Italian culture and mores, provides the backdrop for the protagonists ill-fated relationship. Publisher Description The protagonists of this story are Franco and Nadja, whose relationship begins as a chance, lunchtime encounter in a bar not far from the small hilltop town of Montelorenzo in southern Tuscany. Franco comes from an established, artisan family in the town and, although university educated, follows in his fathers footsteps as a cabinet maker. Nadja is a spirited and determined but anxious young woman with an ever-present phobia. Since her mother died giving birth to her, she was brought up by her father, a fervent Communist who named her Nadja after the wives of both Lenin and Stalin. Nadja is short for Nadezhda, which means Hope in Russian. The story illustrates the legacy of history and the lasting effect it has on all our lives. Nadja becomes, both literally and metaphorically, Francos Hope, until the Three Fates of Greek mythology intervene. Author Biography Gregory Andrusz retired from academic life as a sociologist and specialist on the former Soviet Union. Although still engaging with events in Eastern Europe, he now focuses on storytelling as a way of exploring the ideas & beliefs motivating individual and group behaviour. In doing so he draws upon the lives of the many people he has known and his understanding of the relationship between history, social structures & human behaviour. Gregorys collection of short stories in his book, Foreign Correspondence, published 2017, was well received. He lives in London.
