The Last Window-Giraffe

With ongoing wars and autocrats vying for power everywhere we look, The Last Window-Giraffe resonates both as a history lesson and a warning about what the future can hold. American readers will be thrilled to discover this genre-defying book about freedom, revolution, war, and the communal joy of protesting.

This novel has been translated into twenty-two languages; it was book of the year in Ukraine and an inspiration for the Orange Revolution in Ukraine. It appears in English in Tim Wilkinson’s superb translation and this edition features a new foreword by Marina Abramović.

The Last Window-Giraffe takes its title from the fact that the first and last letters of the Hungarian alphabet match the first letters for the words “window” and “giraffe,” and is modeled after an illustrated Hungarian primary school textbook.
