A new novel by Magda Kozak has just appeared in bookstores. The author, an officer of the Polish Army, a member of the military mission in Afghanistan, a physician specializing in emergency medicine, is also a popular writer of science fiction and fantasy. Polish readers is known primarily from the best-selling trilogy “Nocarz”, “Renegade”, “Nobody”. Her new book is titled “Tears of the Devil.” It’s the story of two men from a distant planet Jahan. A title tears hell is a drug on which depends the whole of humanity.
Catherine Sobiechowska-Szuchta RMF FM: How do you manage all reconciled, because they are probably different emotional states and very hard work that you perform?
Magda Kozak : I do not know, can not be . I wrote this book four years. The fact is that it is quite thick, but as far as previous books were born in the nine months and poof, it is here the better part of this book was born in concept, to the missions. This is a collective work, because it is not only my book, but fellow soldiers, to whom He went in the evening and put them to task: listen guys, it is a topic that you have to bounce the prisoner from the database and now I invent, how it must be done. But the missions could not write this to the need to focus, disconnect yourself from the environment, and it would be dangerous. While in the country went to the spa after a missionary to Kłodzko for 2 weeks and by these two weeks I sat and 12-14 hours a day. Slapping, slapping, slapping and finally typed.
You are here created such a world, where on the one hand we have the reality of medieval, but the medieval Middle East, on the other hand, it is a world in which people fly planes , using laptops, cell phones ringing.
I wanted a little bit maybe invite a world similar to modern Afghanistan, because I wanted to tell a story similar to the history of the war, which she survived. Therefore, on the one hand a world where we have houses modeled from clay and straw, and men on donkeys, on the other hand all the blessings and the convenience of the present. I’m not feeling too well in the reality-fiction, I wanted to first of all talk about the emotions that accompany a man on a mission, I did not want reportage from Afghanistan. I wanted to just tell a good, attractive, colorful history, through which the reader will be able to feel so little, as there is on a mission. This is not the scientific literature, it is not a documentary, it is not war reporting.
The planet, which moves you share, that is Jahan and there, the story is actually two heroes.
One character is the son of the king’s Prince Fari Izad you want to perform a very important task. On the one hand it is his initiation as a man, and so has to go to war, to carry out a military expedition against unruly mountain tribes, and there through the mountains to pave the way for the transport czarsu. This is such a grain, which Faria sell us, that foreign people from their point of view and that is based on military power, the country’s economy. On the other hand, we find A shepherd boy, a young man by the peasants found somewhere battered, shattered, naked in the backwaters of the river, which at the beginning taken in by them, plugged, served as a farmhand. But then the host that he felt insecure, with some I find at home, so just in case, sent him to rebel, let them ministering there. Among the rebels did quite outstanding career. First, becoming one of them climbs the ladder resistance. Watch the story from both sides. On the one hand, the army of Prince somewhere fly in the air on a bomb samoróbce, on the other hand, we see a young person a terrorist, that these bombs manufactures and plants a.
And here we leave the field for the readers. You mentioned that the inhabitants of this planet that we Earthlings are strangers.
So, my idea is to reflect the realities of the earth. Lies in the fact that humanity reached on a planet somewhere far, far, far away in space and there we started to conduct a trade. The story is from the point of view of the local inhabitants, just Farian and we buy from them czars, the grain, which produce the drug, including the title Tears of the Devil, which make the people in the world are happy. Do not get sick, do not have wars, in general idyll total in this war. The idea is just the kind of devil was crying, lost complete control over humanity. In exchange for grain sell them what they want to buy. Most often it will also be a modern military equipment.
You mentioned that really helped colleagues from the mission. Do they have the opportunity to read it? Do you have any first reviews from them?
They had a chance to read it before the release. I wanted to see if I understood well. Therefore, everyone read as such by technical editors and a had a lot of fun with it, or so I’m told.
