Agitka

the long version

Krzysztof Paliwoda is a young man who leads a purely intellectual life. Living in the Communist Poland, he is not interested in money as such, or even in sex; that is, until he goes to Paris to discuss certain interesting political theories with his mentor, only to meet a daughter of a charismatic South-American revolutionary and his politically involved camarade... At the same time, the Baader-Meinhof group is being hunted all over Europe, and even in Poland, considered by Krzysztof as a boring place where nothing is going to change, the wind of change is blowing... The best novel by Bojarska, providing an interesting insight in the European political sphere at the end of the 20th century and contrasting the East and the West soon bound to merge.
