 Description

This entry contains the first part of the audiobook "Trgovec z dušami" (The trader of souls) by author Evald Flisar (COBISS ID: 279986435, ISBN: 978-961-7279-26-9). When the world traveler Evald Flisar, now in his later years, sets out to retrace the routes of his youth, he hopes to discover how much the world has changed over the past four decades—and how much his own self, now increasingly unfamiliar to him, has changed as well. By chance, he finds himself on Simba, a small island in eastern Indonesia, where he encounters extraordinary people and a series of remarkable events. The island's inhabitants remain deeply devoted to their spiritual traditions and ancient customs, but Simba has fallen prey to Wilson, an American trader who exports life-sized elephants carved from teak while importing everything he believes will "modernize" the island—and, in doing so, make it his own. Suspenseful, witty, and rich with profound insight, this novel gradually transforms, in true Flisar fashion, into a tragedy. Simba is a powerful warning about human greed and the relentless force with which it drives the world toward destruction.
