We often admire the beauty of surrounding landscape. We admire its landform, plants, we contemplate HERE and NOW. But if and how often do we think about what actually happened in this place in the PAST? To a large extent it depends on our knowledge of the particular place's history. But what if we do not know anything about it? Death Landscapes is the second book by Hubert Humka. This time, Humka focuses on the landscapes: contaminated landscapes, marked by their history. On the one hand, they are idyllic; on the other, they contain the stigma of the events that they silently witnessed. In the seemingly immovable landscape one can find cracks, splits, even physical scars. The traumatic events that left them were of different nature: from collective (battle field or terrorist attack) to tragedies affecting a single person (suicide or victim of murder). Is the Love Path on the small Norwegian island of Utøya still as it was before the blood of the assassin's victims soaked in? How does the idyllic charm of the place break down in the context of trauma, leaving a stripped landscape? But most of all, Death Landscapes is a story about man. It is an attempt to answer the question: is a conducive intersection of time and space revealing the dark side of our nature? Humka's book contains a number of inserts that give it additional meaning, including a report on a death-penalty execution and a never-before-published diary of a serial killer.
