Drugi zakon termodinamike (The Second Law of Thermodynamics)
Translation: Vladimir Jankovski
"The Second Law of Thermodynamics" follows the story of several middle-aged people who will gather at a common party one evening and, as a form of intellectual game, will have to tell some intimate, personal, previously untold story. Thus, they begin to narrate strange, unusual, dramatic, and simultaneously highly interesting stories about love, sex, and emotional relationships. The book at times resembles a tipsy gathering, a psychoanalytic session, but also a Platonic dialogue or a banquet in which some of the most intimate aspects of life are revealed, combined, and confronted.
