| Title | Prikosnovenie |
| Description | Daniel Keyes’s The Touch is a psychological novel with elements of social drama, in which an accident involving radioactive dust destroys the life of an ordinary couple in a small American town. Barney accidentally brings the contamination home, and he and Karen find themselves treated as people whom others fear even more than the accident itself. Karen’s pregnancy makes the situation especially tense, since the long-awaited child becomes a source of hope and painful fear.
The novel belongs to post-war writing about the psychological consequences of life in the shadow of nuclear energy. Its central theme is fear of an invisible threat, which makes people search for someone to blame. Keyes also examines corporate responsibility and the fragility of human relationships, describing a world in which a technological accident becomes a serious moral test. |
