Festivalový tip: The novel Makanna - The Father of Miracles describes the rise and fall of a historical person - a false prophet from the 7th century. ........ "Excavated from ancient times, the alien oriental word becomes in this novel a living, historical, colourful picture reminding us of not-so-distant tyranny. The novel Makanna was written in 1940 and published under a cover name in 1941, whose owner was tortured to death in Mauthausen."
