About the book: 2004 / Andre-Marcel Adamek is a modern Belgian writer. “The Master of the Black Gardens” (1993) is one of his most popular novels. Adamek's books have been translated into English, German, Czech, Greek, and Bulgarian. The story of events, told alternately from the perspective of two characters, strangely shifts the planes, creating a complex stereoscopic effect. The feeling of unpredictability is enhanced by an ancient legend, the legend of the “black gardens”».
