Death and the Gardener (Georgi Gospodinov)
A man sits by his father's bedside and reports radically and gently until a final winter morning.
His father was one of that generation of tragic smokers born right after the World War II in Bulgaria, who clung to the snorkels of their cigarettes. A rebel without a cause, he knew how to fail with heroic self-deprecation.
The garden he created out of a barren village yard first saved him, then killed him It remains his living legacy: peonies and potatoes, roses and cherry trees - and endless stories.
But without him, his son's past, with all its afternoons, began to quietly crack. Because the end of our fathers is the end

A man sits by his father's bedside and reports radically and gently until a final winter morning.
His father was one of that generation of tragic smokers born right after the World War II in Bulgaria, who clung to the snorkels of their cigarettes. A rebel without a cause, he knew how to fail with heroic self-deprecation.
The garden he created out of a barren village yard first saved him, then killed him It remains his living legacy: peonies and potatoes, roses and cherry trees - and endless stories.
But without him, his son's past, with all its afternoons, began to quietly crack. Because the end of our fathers is the end of a world.
From the winner of the International Booker Prize, comes a novel about a father, a son, and an orphaned garden in a fading world that spans from ancient Ithaca to present-day Sofia, interweaving the botany of sorrow, the consolations of storytelling and the arrival of the first tulips of spring.
Смерть и садовник (Георгий Господинов)
Оригинальный текст, без адаптации
Мужчина сидит у постели отца и докладывает радикально и мягко до последнего зимнего утра.
Его отец принадлежал к поколению трагически погибших курильщиков, родившихся сразу после Второй мировой войны в Болгарии, которые цеплялись за трубки своих сигарет. Бунтарь без причины, он умел терпеть неудачи с героическим самоуничижением.
Сад, который он создал из заброшенного деревенского двора, сначала спас его, а затем погубил. Он остаётся его живым наследием: пионы и картофель, розы и вишни – и бесконечные истории.
Но без него прошлое его сына, со всеми его вечерами, начало тихо рушиться. Потому что конец наших отцов – это конец света.
Роман лауреата Международной Букеровской премии об отце, сыне и осиротевшем саде в угасающем мире, простирающемся от древней Итаки до современной Софии, переплетая в себе ботанику скорби, утешение повествования и появление первых тюльпанов весны.
