ISBN: 9788076373600 / Czeski / 2023 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Když Christopher Hitchens dopsal svou knihu Bůh není veliký, poslal mi ji, abych si ji přečetl, a já mu řekl, jen napůl v žertu, že má v názvu jedno slovo navíc; bylo by užitečné, kdyby vymazal ‚veliký‘.
Touto větou otevírá známý spisovatel esej Instinkt svobody. V kolekci brilantně napsaných textů se Rushdie profiluje nejen jako oddaný obhájce svobody slova a umělecké výpovědi, ale především jako znalec světového písemnictví a kultury. Věnuje se velkým literátům 20. století z rodu Kurta Vonneguta nebo Samuela Becketta, srovnává...
