Description
In Search of the Grail continues Svetislav Basara's "Cyclist Conspiracy," a fantastical exploration of civilizational decline told through an array of strange and esoteric documents. Readers are introduced to a secret history of the twentieth century, shown that behind the well-known wars and political revolutions of the period numerous secret organizations vied for supremacy through the control of books, knowledge, and dreams. With appearances by Sigmund Freud, Salvador Dali, the Marquis de Sade, Karl Marx, and Josef Stalin, among many others, Basara's novel presents a singularly playful, imaginative portrait of modernity and of the human condition.
