Beschreibung
Prague sinologist Jindřich Krottenbacher is a mandarin in a sense twice over: by virtue of his field and as a lecturer at Ferdinand University from 1990 to 2000, during a time when almost anything was possible in the city of Prague. How does he get involved in the revolutionary turmoil and what does he experience in it? What will the establishment of the Institute of Comparative Studies of East and West bring? Will he gradually lose his soul in the whirlpool of events? Is he not living on borrowed time after begging for another ten years of life in a life-threatening situation in a collapsed underground corridor somewhere in Shanxi province? Will the mushroom that gains the favor of his superiors bring him true happiness? How will he experience the enormous turbulence of colorful times with all his friends and enemies? Why does death ultimately attract him, erasing all our sins? How is fate actually created? What role does Mother Kuan-yin play in his life?
