Over 55,000 votes were cast. Which books published in 2018 will we remember for longer? In the non-fiction category, two items won the same number of internet users’ votes. The first of them was the publication by Kuba Kucharski “In the grip of Katrina” (Annapurna Publishing House). The winning book is a detailed account, almost a diary of the travels and tragic events of the hurricane. If these events did not take place in reality, it could be said that they are great material for an engaging and suspenseful action novel. The book is read instantly, with bated breath following the fate of the people described. It’s hard to break away from reading. The author proves that although making dreams come true is worth the sacrifices and inconveniences, it is always worth taking a cold and common sense approach to the proposed solutions beforehand. We will not always be lucky.

In extreme situations, such as war or natural disaster, people sometimes wake up demons who would normally remain dormant forever. Robberies are starting, crime is increasing. You write about it in your book.

At the stadium where we took refuge, on the second day the theft began. There is no denying that Superdome found people from social lowlands – criminals released from prison during the hurricane or dealers who also traded in drugs there.

In the following days shots from a firearm could be heard. I was also a witness to suicide. And all at this one stadium. I describe it in detail in my book. But in fact, at such times, the worst monsters can come out of people. Fortunately, on the other hand, there is no shortage of those who are eager to help others.
