Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Awarded the Czechoslovak State Prize for Literature in 1936, The Arsonist explores the world of youth against the backdrop of a small eastern Bohemian border town being menaced by an invisible firebug. Time and re, their ability to reshape and destroy, are central. Encoded in echo, wind, and… smoke -- in the gesture and in the whisper -- the true nature of events is too intangible and eeting, too pregnant with the unknown, to provide any genuine certainty, and this is the real source of the townsfolk's terror. Their misguided attempts to identify the elusive arsonist ultimately reveal the emptiness and inflexibility of their own lives. One of the most distinctive voices in 20th-century Czech letters, Hostovsky's mix of mysticism, irony, and wit, all leavened by the inuence of Expressionism on his early work, results in a richly textured narrative amid an atmosphere of growing peril that serves as a harbinger of the catastrophe to come. This is the first English translation. The Arsonist explores the world of a small eastern Bohemian border town being menaced by an invisible firebug. The true nature of events is too intangible and fleeting, too pregnant with the unknown, to provide any genuine certainty, and this is the real source of the townsfolk's terror. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
