Publisher about the novel
Eva Kovač's groundbreaking novel, The Sun Sets in Celje, deals with the topic of drug addiction in a seemingly mundane way. The basis on which the author builds the novel is the intersection of the lives of a drug addict and a student who, caught in the trap of saving her partner from addiction, becomes addicted herself.
The basic framework of the story is a classic Stockholm Syndrome, where the kidnapped person, after a fierce fight for their own freedom, finally gives up on it and turns to their captor. – He becomes docile, obedient, and participates in the kidnapper's actions, even though he knows he is not doing the right thing.
