In his novel The Eighth Wonder of the World, Plevnes takes his dark sense of humor and undeniable wit on a search for a common ground in an uncommon world. His protagonist Alexander Simsar, during the last 3.3 seconds of his life in Berlin in 1989 (weeks before the fall of Berlin Wall), envisions the creation of a monument-an eighth wonder of the world-that would embrace humanity in all its layers and countenances. In this absurdist novel, Plevnes invents a utopia that unites many of the differences in the world: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and even Satanism.

Jordan Plevnes was born in 1953 in Macedonia. He writes plays, novels, poetry, and essays, and his works have been translated into over fifty languages. His spiritual idealism is closely linked to the myth of the Balkans as the heart of Europe. Since 1988 he has lived in Paris, where he taught creative writing, and from 2000-2005, served as Ambassador of the Republic of Macedonia to France, Spain, Portugal, and UNESCO.
