A pacifist in a time of drafts, an exile in a time of war, a young man once fled with nothing but a tea tin of memories. From those scraps was born the Plushling Bear - a soft, absurd creature wandering through grotesque landscapes where bottles are empty, folk devour themselves, and the gentle are always hunted.
This is no ordinary fable. It is an adolescent tale stitched from childhood images: scraps of paper, torn toys, grandmother's voice, lemon-juice tears. Behind its absurd laughter lies the bewilderment of youth, the loneliness of exile, and the stubborn refusal to harden into what the world demands.
At once tender and bitter, playful and tragic, Adventures of the Plushling Bear on Madagascar asks a haunting question: why, generation after generation, do we force the young to inherit the same cruelties, the same grotesque carnivals of emptiness and war? And can we, at last, change this story - so that gentleness is not a crime, and softness not a curse?
Boris Kriger's first book, written in 1991 in the shadow of exile and war, remains both a confession and a plea: let us imagine a world where tenderness is allowed to survive.
