Product Description It's Christmas night, and Pastor Kristijonas has disappearedso begins this magical, madcap tale of a pastoral Lithuanian community, weaving together myths, legends, and supernatural tales with the lives of ordinary folk. As the ghosts of the Lithuanian dead grapple with those of the newcomers from abroad, a bubbling teapot of passions erupts, and a timeless world is brought to life with humor and love, tragedy and horror. Review "Bees on the Snow is a wildly energetic novel which makes me think of a mashup of the satiric art of Pieter Brueghel and the unlikely but compelling narrative logic of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's A Hundred Years of Solitude. Although the peasants and lords in this novel are mostly not Jewish, there is plenty of sardonic village humour here in the manner of Sholem Aleichem. Set centuries ago in East Prussia, in a place often ravaged by wars, the story is a breathless narrative in which characters have wild reversals of fortune: judges become beggars, squires become preachers, and apparent slatterns become objects of admiration." Antanas Sileika, author, Provisionally Yours"Through these and other characters, a loving, selfeffacing portrait of rural Lithuania emerges. Saltenis' prose, as translated by Novickas, is formal but riotous in tone ... A dense and surprising tale from an acclaimed Lithuanian author."
