The tattooed city of Hari Slipičević follows the journey of Mac Lewit, a history professor and leader of the Ptolemy clan, a clandestine society safeguarding the Book of the Dead from dark organizations coveting its mystical powers. When the book vanishes, Mac embarks on an uncertain quest spanning Germany, Russia, and South America. Delving into the secrets of Nazi history, Professor Lewit confronts powerful clandestine societies controlling the world from the shadows, while also unraveling the enigmatic depths of his own identity. Brimming with suspense and mystery, the novel is crafted in the vein of a postmodern crime tale, weaving together various literary forms, from historiography to essays. Slipičević skillfully constructs a distinct narrative universe with its own internal coherence and significance. The fact that “The Tattooed City” serves as a standalone work, independent of its predecessor “The Key of Immortality,” underscores its narrative integrity. It operates as a separate literary cosmos, its full meaning unfolding within Slipičević’s broader narrative framework.
