„Harampasha“
T he novel „HARAMPASHA“ is an explosive thriller. However, it is rife with socio-psychological deliberations and offers a down-to-earth analysis of the feeling of righteousness, of commercial and non-commercial exploitation of human spiritual needs and ultimately, of blind bigotry, terror and terrorism.
The narrative offers us more than its fair share of suspense. Switching the airplanes over the Sahara in order to highjack the landing slot at the Heathrow and the pandemonium that follows when a jumbo full of terrorists has landed there. Readers will be shocked with the realistic description of the blast of a tactical nuke in the heart of Westminster with the purpose to render all electronic equipment in Whitehall useless. The climax is however, when in the last seconds of the story, the already mentioned Mani climbs the London Eye to make it possible for a colonel of the Chinese Army to disarm the ten-megaton fission device that has been perched on top of the Ferris wheel and guarded by a suicidal fanatic.
The action unfurls in more than thirty different locations worldwide. From Cyprus to Urumqui in Western China; from Windsor Castle to backs-of-beyond of the Sahara. From Krasnoyarsk in Siberia to the mountains of Austrian Tyrol; from the White House to a village in the forest belt of West Africa. Consequently, the novel abounds not only in nail-biting situations and occasional fits of hilarity but as well with breath-taking descriptions of such exotic places like Djenum Thelerteba in the Hoggar Mountains or Idhan Murzuk, an enormous see of sand between Libya and Niger.
Radnja se odvija na više od trideset različitih lokacija širom sveta. Od Kipra do Urumćija u zapadnoj Kini; od dvorca Vindzor do bespuća Sahare. Od Krasnojarska u Sibiru do planina austrijskog Tirola; od Bele kuće do sela u šumskom pojasu zapadne Afrike. Roman obiluje ne samo naletima humora karakterističnim za pisanja Kodjoa Vangorskog, već i opisima egzotičnih mesta kao što su Djenum Thelerteba u planinama Hoggar ili Idhan Murzuk, ogromnog peščanog mora između Libije i Nigera.
