Sviňa / The Swine

The Swine is the second book of the journalist and political commentator Arpád Soltész. This disturbing novel, set in the world of organised crime, politics, business and media, exposes the Mafia-style methods of the state.

 

A teenage girl vanishes from a resocialisation centre for young addicts, but no one misses her. The all-powerful Chairman controls everyone and everything except his own decisions. A young neo-Nazi disappears in a forest, never to be found again. A rejected provincial Mafia moll insinuates herself into the most lucrative bed in the country. Some inhabitants of a small picturesque country under small-but-perfectly-formed high mountains keep disappearing, while others climb to the top of the greasy pole. These two phenomena are often interconnected.
