Description
At Jacob’s Well
Tea Topuria
Thea Topuria’s At Jacob’s Well is a brilliant example of magical realism, where the mythical and the real are intricately interwoven. The tragic fate of a small nation is elevated to a cosmic, mythic dimension. At the heart of the novel is the human being—both as an individual and as a member of society. The story follows the history of a small people, most of whom were forced to flee invading conquerors and resettle elsewhere.
This profound, emotionally resonant, and vividly imagined novel explores loss, memory, and the search for cosmic serenity.
Readers will encounter richly layered and thought-provoking parallels, while throughout the novel they will be accompanied by the sound of relentless, torrential rain.
