1950s Prague is a city of numerous daily terrors, of political tyranny, corruption and surveillance. There is no way of knowing whether one s neighbor is spying for the government, or what one s supposed friend will say under pressure to a State Security agent. A loyal Party member might be imprisoned or executed as quickly as a traitor; innocence means nothing for a person caught in a government trap. When a little boy is murdered at the cinema, the ensuing investigation... This rediscovered masterpiece captures a chilling moment in the stifling early days of Communist Czechoslovakia.

The Attempt
ISBN: 9781942658085 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "The Attempt is historical fiction at its best.

Case Closed
ISBN: 9781564785770 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Centered on an elderly retiree and his intellectual adversary, the shrewd Inspector Lebeda, "Case Closed" is filled with all the expected elements of a thriller--murder, rape, suicide --but soon reveals itself as a wily and sophisticated parable about the dangers of language itself, in which the author takes aim at human nature with a devastating arsenal of genre-mixing, wordplay, and whimsical, biting satire.

ISBN: 9788024631271 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Written between 1954 and 1957 and treating events from the Stalinist era of Czechoslovakia's postwar Communist regime, Midway Upon the Journey of Our Life flew in the face of the reigning aesthetic of socialist realism, an anti-heroic novel informed by the literary theory of Viktor Shklovsky and constructed from episodes and lyrical sketches of the author and his neighbors' everyday life in industrial north Bohemia, set against a backdrop of historical and cultural upheaval. Meditative and speculative reflections here alternate and overlap with fragmentary accounts of...
