Całe piękno świata

Dominika Buczak

Keynote
The postwar fortunes of two families –
Polish and German – in a new, strange,
and difficult reality. A universal tale of
friendship and solidarity, from a female
perspective.
Selling Points
 A moving, feminist saga of female
solidarity, capable of overcoming the worst
chauvinism and nationalism.
 The protagonists manage to break down
their biases and aversion: they are bound
by common goals (defending their home
from looters, economic development) and
women’s problems (miscarriage, betrayal,
child care).
 A remarkable image of postwar Europe:
suffering, misery and mass deportations.
 History, both micro and macro, seen
from a woman’s perspective.
 Fascinating, multifaceted characters that
break down a host of national and gender
stereotypes.
 A plot written as a tale of the universal
conflict between eternal foes on two sides
of the barricade – and yet goes beyond this
convention in a fascinating way.
 Another unconventional tale of
the Silesian identity.

Description
1946, the war is over, but not for everyone.
Lower Silesia, so recently a bastion of
German culture, is now a part of Poland,
a place where human suffering knows
no nationality. Two families, one Polish,
one German, are forced to live under
one roof. Capital-H History, which had
come crashing down on them without
their bidding, compels them to hate one
another. Yet their initial animosity quickly
gives way to empathy, even friendship.
This saga of two families is primarily told
from the perspective of women who decide
to stand up to adversity together. It is also
a story of universal values, of sympathy,
solidarity and friendship, which not even
the hell of war could destroy.
Target Market
Readers of dramatic and feminist novels.
Those who love historical prose.
