The Fifth Dimension

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Martin Vopenka

Translated by: Hana Sklenkova

A contemporary classic from the Czech Republic.

To support his family, a man submits himself to a solo science experiment in the High Andes. This is a cosmic adventure story of big ideas and murder.

Your business is dead. It seems like a deal: leave your family behind in Prague for a year, isolate yourself in a research station in the Andes, and come home with a fortune. With a treatise on black holes for company, Jakob settles in at altitude. The air is thin. Strangers pass by on dangerous pilgrimage while his young wife and kids take life in his mind. In mountain starkness, the big questions take shape: like what happens to love inside a black hole?

About Martin Vopenka

The Jewish-Czech author Martin Vopnka is one of the leading voices in world literature writing with with a deft and compellingly simple control of sentences that is reminiscent of both Kafka and Kundera Choice. Martin Vopnka was born in Prague in 1963. The son of the famous mathematician Petr Vopnka Martin studied Mathematics and Physics at the Czech Technical University in Prague but was always intent on being a writer. His first novel Kameny z hor (Rocks from the Mountains) recorded memories and emotions from a journey across the Romanian Carpathians. The themes explored in his books go beyond the local themes of much Czech literature. He views the contemporary world with caution and contributes polemic articles to the national daily paper MF Dnes. In 2016 his Nová Planeta (New Planet) won the countrys premier Golden Ribbon Award.
