What is the book about?
Emil can’t sleep. Not at all. And his mother forgets everything from time to time, doesn’t recognize her son, and doesn’t remember her own name. To help her, Emil has a ritual that must be followed to the last word.
Together they move to a place where no one knows them - to a snowy island, where they have to live in a school. And one night, a phone rings in the empty school corridors. Emil picks up the phone and recognizes the voice of his brother, who died several years ago: "Help me come back!".
But how to bring back someone who has died? How not to lose yourself in worlds where there is a thin line between the possible and the impossible, and every mistake can cost your life? What has Emil's mother really forgotten? And is it worth reminding her of this?
"The Book of Emil" is a new novel by Illarion Pavlyuk, the author of the bestsellers "I See, You Are Interested in Darkness", "The Dance of the Fool" and "White Ashes".
Why is it worth reading?
Tense atmosphere: from the first pages, Pavlyuk creates a creepy world in which reality is constantly slipping away, and the characters struggle not only with the darkness around them, but also with the darkness within themselves.
A combination of genres: the author skillfully balances fantasy, thriller, and psychological drama, creating a story that captivates both the mind and emotions.
Deep themes: memory, family ties, fear of loss, and the search for oneself — Pavlyuk explores all of this with his inherent sincerity and intellectuality.
A special style: short sentences, sharp dialogues, and the cold poetic nature of the text create a unique atmosphere that is impossible to tear yourself away from.
For lovers of Ukrainian fantasy.
Еміль не вміє спати. Взагалі. А його мама час від часу все забуває, не впізнає сина та не пам’ятає власного імені. Щоб їй допомогти, у Еміля є ритуал, якому треба слідувати до останнього слова.
Вдвох вони переїжджають туди, де їх ніхто не знає, — на засніжений острів, де доводиться жити у школі. І якось вночі у порожніх шкільних коридорах лунає дзвінок телефона. Еміль підіймає слухавку та впізнає голос брата, що помер кілька років тому: «Допоможи мені повернутися!».
Та як повернути того, хто помер? Як не втратити себе у світах, де між можливим і неможливим — тонка межа, а кожна помилка може коштувати життя? Що насправді забула мама Еміля? І чи варто їй це нагадувати?
