Product Description

Product Description

One of the last artistic expressions of life under communism, this novel captures the atmosphere in Prague between 1983 and 1987, where a dance could be broken up by the secret police, a traffic offence could lead to surveillance and where contraband books were the currency of the underworld.

4.0 out of 5 stars A human and uplifting book, 15 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: My Golden Trades (Paperback)
This is a great book. Klima pulls down the trappings of the conventional life. Work, politics, sex. And having done this he gets down to the essential characteristics of the people he describes. Why they are good, why they are bad and why they do what they do. He doesn't judge, but allows people's actions to speak for themselves. In some respects he could just as easily have written this book in a capitalist society. This is a book that will help you escape the bitterness of the world for a while. Not only that, but it may also improve your world view.
