Description
Baldwin's compelling and controversial novel is his most thorough treatment of sexuality and a classic of gay literature. In 1950s Paris, crowded with expatriates and marked by dangerous encounters and hidden violence, an American discovers that, despite his determination to live the conventional life he imagines for himself, he cannot suppress his desires. After meeting a young woman and asking her to marry him, he begins an affair with an Italian barman, confused and tormented by his sexual identity. The BBC included Giovanni's Room among the 100 most inspiring novels written in English. This cult work from 1956 is published in Czech for the first time. The contents are in Czech.
