Vango - 2 CDmp3 (Čte Jan Vlasák)

He has always felt best near the sky. But the world has begun to feel unbearably mundane... Young romantics, rejoice! The most eloquent Frenchman of today has woven a web of plots for you, hiding at its center the mystery of the hero's identity in the time of inhuman ideologies of the 1930s. The fugitive Vango is searching for why fate spat him out as an infant onto a rocky islet near Sicily and who his parents were. A gripping, opulent, indeed, a delightfully colossal epic told in the style of Dumas, a compatriot of Fombelle, shows that even under the pressure of Nazism and Bolshevism in Europe, the will to settle scores with evildoers sprouted just as in the story of the avenger Monte Cristo. The escapades of the elusive young man, who loves the orphaned girl Ethel and climbing heights, are assisted by the technological advancements of the time in the form of airships, steam trains, and racing cars. After all, he is also pursued by dim-witted policemen and hot-blooded Sicilians, with pirates, treasures of immeasurable value, and fierce Russians, as uncivilized as ever, in the mix. How does Stalin's daughter fit into all this, and how far can Vango retreat to maintain his honor in the face of moral dilemmas? And to defend his own freedom and that of others? *** Length of the recording: 22 hours 52 minutes ***
