Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. An introduction to the work of acerbic Slovak writer Peter Macsovszky. Simon Blef, who comes from "a small, stifling country without a sea" in some corner of Europe, has gone to live in the Netherlands. There he has found a wife and hopes he may yet find work. He is making preparations: he carries around a notebook and jots down his thoughts. One day he would like to write a novel, but in the meantime, he records, embellishes, invents, and combines what he sees with what he dreams: the happy, hard-working Dutch, with their seventy-year-old hippiesthe "superannuated generation of rockers" and their new "sexless generation," as well as the tourists and immigrants from beyond the seven seas. Set in a single day, Making Skeletons Dance is full of impressionistic musings, in equal measure mordant and humorous. Simon has left his small unhappy country to get away from the pastbut how is it that the past is so devilishly resourceful, liable to turn up in any Amsterdam pub? As the afternoon wears on, the drama of his life unfolds in fascinating detail, be it comedy or tragedy, or both.

Roman Tantalopolis mozno v primarnej rovine chapat ako prienik do kazdodenneho zivota jedneho juhoamerickeho mesta. Ako vsak takmer v kazdom literarnom diele, aj tu su realie modifikovane,stylizovane, a sluzia len ako ramec ovela sirsej, univerzalnejsej metafory.

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. Komu je lepsie, ak nie tomu, kto moze cely den vysedavat v krcme v pitoresknom meste, ako je napriklad Amsterdam, a bezstarostne pozorovat plynutie zivota? Kto sa citi slobodnejsie, ak nie ten, kto moze splynut s poulicnym ruchom a v cudzom meste snivat o dalsich mestach? Simon Blef, nezamestnany, no nadejny spisovatel, vlastne len zapisovac, sa citi slobodny, bez hranic. Prichystany na akekolvek dobrodruzstvo. Ale len zdanlivo. Pretoze uz v prvej putike ho prikvacia hlasy z minulosti, hlasy pred ktorymi unika, hlasy, ktorych sa nevie a ani nemieni vzdat. Aby mohol mudrovat o smrti, najma o smrti svojich blizkych, v skutocnosti ale opat len o sebe, o svete, ktory nosi v sebe a v ktorom sa boji byt tym, kym je. Naokolo zatial sumi kozmopolitne velkomesto, omamne sumi. Cely ten podenkovy, ale nezvratny karneval. A Simon, hoci by si to ani za svet nepriznal, si ho uziva plnymi duskami.…

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. Roman sa snazi zachytit cinorodost ludskeho tvora na zemeguli. Je to katalog vyznamnych osobnosti. Slovenskych i zahranicnych. Karneval obsesii a skutkov. Prehliadka udalosti. Sukromnych, historickych i tajuplnych. Sprava o tom, ze pohyby v privatnej sfere niekedy zatienia velke spolocenske dianie. Sprava o komickych i zlovestnych podobach stihomamu. No v prvom rade je to skromna pocta vzdelancom, ktori v zabudnutych mestach strednej Europy vytrvalo udrzuju ohen kulturnych aktivit.…
