Skumju fizika
Translated title: The Physics of Sadness
Author: Gospodinov, Georgiy
Genre: Family Saga / Social Novel
Year: 2025 | Pages: 320 | Origin: LAT | ISBN: 9789934410642
Using the myth of the Minotaur, the hero of Georgiy Gospodinov's novel constructs a labyrinth of stories about his family, jumping from century to century, from point of view to point of view, exploring the state of mind and stumbling blocks of Eastern Europeans.
The unnamed narrator suffers from 'pathological empathy,' the attacks of which take him on wanderings through his own and other people's memories. His message is at times incredibly moving, at times very witty.
'The Physics of Sadness' is a book in which the reader can settle down, look for connections, follow the narrator in his footsteps through various side corridors, blissfully get lost in the countless plots and sympathize with the sad, misunderstood Minotaur - the central axis of this work.
Part family history, part coming-of-age story, part meditation on communist-era Europe, this dazzlingly inventive, vision-broadening novel, with its unique structure, humanist ideas, and gifted narrative, confirms that Georgi Gospodinov is deservedly considered one of Europe's most important contemporary authors

A yellow taxi, a golf club and a cat! What do they have in common? As if nothing... only these characters are repeated with unusual insistence in the new collection of stories by Latvian fantasy and science fiction writers 'Pedestrians'. Why? And that's not all - this collection draws the reader into guessing other riddles.
What does the Dream Blower do? How would a car controlled by thoughts work? Is the baby in the bed just a fiction? What would you do if you could rewrite the past? Or, even more so - the future?
The writers do not promise clear answers, but one thing they can promise - a colorful, exciting, even dazzling journey into the world of imagination, which often so imperceptibly overflows into the reality we know, that we have to understand - we are all just pedestrians in some mysterious, completely unknowable traffic of dreams, ideas and unusual events. In traffic, where accidents sometimes happen, and then the inexplicable and fantastic suddenly become visible

Jennifer Weiner is a New York Times bestselling author. Several of her novels have been adapted into films. Very often, it begins with a thrilling first glance. Sometimes it's a story about giving a second chance. Sometimes the answers are known almost instantly. But Rachel Bloom and Andy Landis' relationship takes many years to come to the most important question of their lives - whether they can ultimately walk the path together.
They are just young children when they meet in a hospital emergency room. They meet again as teenagers, and the mutual attraction is too strong to resist. Romance unites the most different - a girl from a family of wealthy and caring parents and a young man whose mother takes care of her son alone. Over the next three decades, Andy and Rachel meet again and part again, bound by chance and shared memories, climb the mountain of success and victory and fall into the abyss of defeat and despair, but rise and climb again - even stronger and wiser in life.
This is a soulful novel with a dose of humor and self-irony, a fantastic revelation about the flow of time, about how we change, while changing each other. But the measure is only one - the beloved person and the ability to be happy

Vizma Belsevica is my Grandmother, and I must admit that as a child 'Bille' bothered me a bit - often, when I asked my Grandmother about the time when she was little, I would get an unusually firm and blunt: 'Read Bille'.
Well, why should I read if the storyteller is sitting opposite? Now, when some time has passed, I am happy and grateful for this book. It is not only about the girl Billi, but also about countless Riga boys and girls and their parents, ordinary working people, who struggled through life in Riga in the 1930s as if they were teachers. It is described here colorfully, aptly and at times harshly
