Fernando Aramburu's novel "Swifts" was published five years after his famous "Homeland", translated into 34 languages and bringing the author worldwide fame. To the surprise of many, this time the writer abruptly changed not only the topic, but also the writing style. The hero of "Swifts", fifty-year-old philosophy teacher Tony, seemingly without an obvious reason decides to commit suicide. And he sets an exact date for his own death, giving himself a year to complete his affairs. At the same time, he begins to keep a diary, in which every evening he describes the events of the past day, and also reconstructs the history of his life. The purpose of the diary is to understand himself and understand why he so irrevocably lost the desire to remain on this earth. The diary is extremely frank, in it Tony unashamedly splashes out the most secret feelings, reveals the motives for the most unsightly actions and reflects on the nature of happiness, love, friendship and family relationships.
