Felix Austria
by Sofia Andrukhovych
Description
The events of Felix Austria unfold in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Stanislav, present-day Ivano-Frankivsk — an ordinary city in the Reczposolita territories of Felix Austria (Austro-Hungarian Empire), whose residents live, suffer, inseparably fall in love, delight in science and the charlatan performances of world-renowned illusionists, seek amusement at balls and carnivals, shpatzir aroun their neighborhoods, and hide secrets in the carved wooden chests. And against the backdrop of an era that, for posterity, will become overgrown in myths about an idyllic way of life, arise the fates of two women, intertwined as closely as the trunks of two trees, who are bonded in an inextricable relationship that doesn’t allow them to live or breathe, stay or leave. Drama surrounded by the luxury and buzz of the beginning of the 20th sentury.
