One of the most piercing novels about love published in Russia in recent times. “Of all that is eternal, the shortest span is allotted to love” — such is the leitmotif of J. Wiśniewski’s European bestseller. The heroes of “Loneliness on the Net” meet in internet chats, exchange erotic fantasies, tell stories from their lives that turn out to be wilder than any fiction. They will meet in Paris, having gone through more than one trial, but the main trial for love will be the meeting itself…
In the autumn of 2006, a film based on this novel — the main Polish bestseller of the early 21st century — was released, and in its very first month of distribution it set a box-office record, surpassing all the Hollywood new releases.
