The Breaking of Eggs
[...] The story of the novel is Feliks’s journey of discovery and self-discovery during 1991: a journey that gradually (and with his intense resistance) transforms him from an impersonal ideologue into a humanist of the left. In the process, he is forced – with extreme reluctance – to admit that on certain issues he has been wrong, so that he needs to reappraise, not only the present, but the past as well.
The principal theme of the novel is that what we like to consider our rational beliefs are usually the product of personal emotional experience. Subsidiary themes are the concept of “home”, the regeneration of individual lives and the conflict between ideology and human life in 20th century Europe.
