Описание книги

Peace, Love, and Petrol Bombs is largely aimed at disaffected teens seeking alternative role models. While not a specifically «young adult» novel, the book is appropriate for a wide age range of readers.The story is set in the context of the anti-globalization protests at the end of the twentieth century, so it should be of interest to thirty-something activists who were involved in the anti-globalization movement, as well as to younger readers.Most novels that treat anarchism in any significant way focus on the image of the «bomb-throwing terrorist» angle. PLPB treats its young anarchist protagonists as real people, and follows them as they come of age politically and socially.Written with loads of dry British humor and wit, PLPB is a great read … and an antidote to «serious» political fiction. This book has a political message, but it's ultimately a good story, first and foremost.

We passed a middle-aged couple in matching Jubilee 2000 anti-debt t-shirts, and a group of Italian disobidienti wearing white boiler suits stuffed with padding. We followed the tramlines back to Námestí Míru but found the square empty except for the International Socialist contingent, their placards drooping as they traipsed in the shadow of the charcoal-coloured church. A helicopter swung over the church and a black kitten ran across the tramlines, through the trampled flower beds, where it stopped, looking up at us with a pet-me meow. “Le chat,” she said, dropping onto one knee and extending a finger. The cat padded forward, sniffed her finger, and then rubbed the side of its face against the back of her hand. It rolled on the ground so she could tickle its belly and then, suddenly bored with this, stood up and stretched, arching its back before bounding across the square scattering pigeons. As we walked on, she said, “When I am sixteen, I buy a cat.”
