Summary

Virgil Lepara, orfan si fara prea multe perspective in timpul regimului comunist, isi gaseste locul si, intr-un fel, o familie in structurile Securitatii. Avanseaza rapid pe treptele ierarhice si ajunge colonel intr-un departament de elita care se ocupa cu suprimarea fizica a persoanelor indezirabile pentru Ceausescu. Doar ca, imediat dupa revolutie, printr-un concurs de imprejurari, devine singurul deconspirat si este judecat si condamnat la inchisoare pentru crimele lui. Iese din inchisoare dupa douazeci de ani, timp in care si-a pierdut nevasta si toata averea, dar afla cu surprindere ca un binefacator din cadrul serviciilor a avut grija sa ii asigure tot ce are nevoie intr-un azil de lux din capitala. Astfel, proaspat pensionar special, nu are altceva de facut decat sa isi traiasca libertatea nou-dobandita si confortabila. Totusi, beneficiile vin cu un cost, astfel ca, intr-o Romanie moderna si europeana, depinde in continuare de toanele si masinatiunile agentilor din servicii. Totodata, relatiile nou-inchegate, cu oameni aparent simpli, il pun in situatia de a-si rememora vechea viata, iar cea mai odioasa crima a lui pare sa il ajunga din urma si sa ii puna in pericol existenta. Un roman in care Radu Aldulescu scoate la lumina partile cele mai sumbre ale trecutului nostru comunist, dar si legaturile inca prezente si incredibilele compromisuri sociopolitice cunoscute sau ascunse.Virgil Lepara, an orphan and without many prospects during the communist regime, finds his place and, in a way, a family in the structures of the Securitate. He quickly advances through the hierarchical ranks and becomes a colonel in an elite department that deals with the physical suppression of people undesirable to Ceausescu. However, immediately after the revolution, through a combination of circumstances, he becomes the only one exposed and is tried and sentenced to prison for his crimes. He gets out of prison after twenty years, during which he lost his wife and all his fortune, but he learns with surprise that a benefactor from the services took care to provide him with everything he needs in a luxury asylum in the capital. Thus, as a special retiree, he has nothing else to do but live his newly acquired and comfortable freedom. However, the benefits come with a cost, so that, in a modern and European Romania, it still depends on the moods and machinations of the service agents. At the same time, the newly formed relationships, with apparently simple people, put him in the situation of remembering his old life, and his most heinous crime seems to catch up with him and endanger his existence. A novel in which Radu Aldulescu brings to light the darkest parts of our communist past, but also the still present connections and the incredible socio-political compromises known or hidden.
