5.0 out of 5 stars Magical - a book to touch the soul, 19 April 2001
By A Customer
Well,it would appear that this is not one of the world's best sellers, but the world is missing out. This is a beautiful book. I have read this 3 or 4 times and would happily do so again. It's a book that looks at the past with nostalgia and the present with humour but a tinge of sadness. Josef Skvorecky runs through three stages of a life - war time Tcheckoslovakia, under the communists and finally in exile. This is a glorious magical work to touch the soul and leave it enriched.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Brilliant, 23 Aug 2002
By A Customer
World war two and the communist occupation of czechslovakia as seen through the eyes of a talented writer living in Canada. This is a wonderfully relaxing, yet informative read filled with literary references. Quite possibly this is the masterpiece that the writer makes reference to wanting to write throughout the story. I definitely recommend that you buy this book.
