Description
AN UNKNOWN SOMEONE sent us the press materials directly. We skimmed through the book out of duty – AND IT ABSOLUTELY BLOWN US AWAY! It is a sensational satirical novel that transports readers to the absurd Continental Union, where official directives dictate everything from waking up at five in the morning to mandatory 'genderization' – and maybe even the curvature of bananas... so one feels right at home.
With Josef and Věra, two non-conformist heroes, we dive into an environment full of bureaucratic absurdities, where even the curtains are exclusively green and freedom of speech is a distant memory. When the duo decides to escape the dystopian panopticon, an unexpected ally joins them – the eccentric Bréca Blumberg.
Prepare for a ride full of irony, where quintessentially Czech humor takes aim at its own social conditions. The story, following in the footsteps of Švejk, will make you laugh, provoke thought – and who knows, you might even check if the curtains in your bedroom comply with directive no. 17538/2010.
364 pages of pure literary rebellion, which could also be titled 1984 + 40.
