1794 е втора част от трилогията в стил Bellman noir, чието начало е 1793, смятана за най-добрата книга на годината в Швеция за 2020 г. Авторът разгръща нов сюжет за измами, отмъщение и престъпления. Читателят се събира отново с Микел Кардел, Анна Стина Кнап и други познати от 1793.

Никлас Нат о Даг далеч не е завършил с бруталното си и голо изображение на най-тъмния ъгъл на този оживен и гниещ свят. Втора част от трилогията 1793 от ... |
