Solo

How does a hundred-year-old hermit Bulgarian view life and the world? Indian-British writer Rana Dasgupta sets out from this question in Solo. Ulrich, who is in the last moments of his life, cannot do much to distract himself; He also abandons himself to his memories in his remaining time. What has he not seen in his century-long life: wars; transitions from capitalism to communism and from communism to capitalism; Revolutions in science, technology and art...

Ulrich witnessed the change not only in Bulgaria but also in the world, and his own life was shaped in line with this change. Of course, such a long life also includes a lot of pain and disappointment, but Ulrich has a solid weapon against these: his vast imagination, which was further strengthened by losing his sight years ago.

This old man whom the world has forgotten but cannot forget the world In the dream world, the man tries to compensate for the things he wanted to do in real life but could not do, and the things he had to do even though he did not want to. Thus, Ulrich's inner journey, which adds his dreams to his memories, turns into a bittersweet reconciliation with life.
