Beschreibung
The stories in this book spring from an unceasing narrative drive. The reader can easily recognize the author by the themes and style. The tales connect historical fragments with contemporary ones, revealing episodes from the lives of the famous, blending fantastical motifs in everyday settings with the actions, desires, or dreams of ordinary heroes. The reader truly experiences their existence, obsession, or sorrow, and together with the narrator, reaches the very depths of believability. The most authentic aspect of Kratochvil's work is the play that allows for the switching of disguises, masks, and perspectives. And behind the masks, one can hear a grotesque, tragicomic cry, a sigh, and — a sly laugh: everything is different! Or is this story the only true reality? Thirteen of them are filled with the joy of storytelling. It is an exciting encirclement. A circular yet.
