The Boy Who Stole Attila's Horse

by Iván Repila, translated by Sophie Hughes - £7.99  Pushkin Press (2016)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781782272229 | ISBN 10: 1782272224

A brave, original allegory of our modern world
 
'It looks impossible to get out,' he says. And also: 'But we'll get out.'
 
Two brothers, Big and Small, are trapped at the bottom of a well. They have no food and little chance of rescue. Only the tempting spectre of insanity offers a way out. As Small's wits fail, Big formulates a desperate plan.
 
With the authority of the darkest fables, and the horrifying inevitability of all-too-real life, Repila's unique allegory explores the depths of human desperation and, ultimately, our almost unending capacity for hope.
