How high can the mind fly before the wings break? In Wings of Glass, the life of protagonist Bert unfolds with the precision of a scalpel: a mathematical genius with clammy hands who threatens to collapse under the unpredictable weight of human emotion. Torn between the soulless rigor of science and the inescapable pull of family ties, Bert searches for his own path, propelled to ecstatic heights and engulfed in bottomless depths. Iconic settings - a buried farm, a sterile research lab, a remote beach house - become the backdrop for an experiment beyond his control. This haunting novel explores the boundaries between rationality and emotion, structure and turmoil - a modern parable about the fragility of human existence and the inexorable power of the inevitable.
