ABOUT
THE BOOK

The Mire (1991, 2005) is a novel that is a dissection of a cruel and ugly period: the time of the so-called socialist society, which people living in the eastern part of the world will long remember for its profound and total lack of moral values.
The Mire is a shattering real story that took place in a world governed by a senseless and evil ideology depriving man of his right to free choice.
