Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2011.

Stoyo Petkanov, the deposed Party leader of a former Soviet satellite country, is on trial. His adversary, the prosecutor general, stands for the new government's ideals and liberal certainties and is attempting to ensare Petkanov with the dictator's own totalitarian laws. But Petkanov is not beaten yet. He has been given his chance to fight back, and he takes it with a vengeance, to the increasing discomfort and surprise of those around him.
