Venko Andonovski publishes a new novel after ten years
One of the biggest names on the Macedonian literary scene, the author and professor Venko Andonovski has a new novel, "The Navel of Light".
Ten years after the publication of the last novel "The Mathematician's Daughter" and 22 years since "The Navel of the World", the book that won almost all important literary awards (Novel of the Year, "Stale Popov", "Balkanika" and the Russian prize "Yugra" ), Andonovski returns to the stage with a new novel that follows (but is not a sequel) to "The Navel of the World".
Jan Ludwig, the protagonist who in "The Navel of the World" was searching for the navel of the world (love for woman), is now searching for the navel of Light. Together with the other characters, he tries to find out where the Light that enlightens the soul is born, as opposed to those who are content to be the devil's clothes.
According to publisher Three, this novel provides a new key to reading The Navel of the World. In it the trinity of light overcomes the dualism of the world. A dualism that destroyed the old world, with all its moral values, and turned it into a burnt civilization on whose charred remains the new spiritual world should rise.
