{"product_id":"9788086907789","title":"Děs a velký výdaje – Perišic Robert (2009)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDread and Great Expenses is a collection of twenty short stories, set primarily in Croatia at the end of the last century, with a few exceptions (Strangers in the Night). A common feature of all the characters and figures that appear in them is their age around thirty and a feeling of uncertainty and sometimes even despair over the irrevocable loss of the past and the anticipated arrival of the future. Romantic 'rockers' from the 60s and 70s, both successful and unsuccessful writers, criminals, failed students, wronged workers, and romantic couples – all of them vehemently resist transitioning from 'alternative' to 'mainstream', becoming part of the stereotypical reality that forces them into marriage and family life, and with bitter pride, they mock their married and settled peers. They wander through cafes, reminiscing with a handful of acquaintances about the old 'alternative' times, and with varying degrees of success, they find jobs that do not satisfy them. They are trapped in a spacetime from which they cannot move, forcing them to meditate on their existence. Their means of escape from the everyday is at most a trip to the supermarket (Shopping), an unsuccessful attempt at infidelity (Two – Three Short Swings), a feeble hint of workplace rebellion (Hey, Joe), or the purchase of a new car (We'll Take Care of It Right Away).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Větrné mlýny s.r.o.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51747135947099,"sku":"9788086907789","price":16.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1787\/2513\/files\/0150663.jpg?v=1764073096","url":"https:\/\/czechmovie.com\/products\/9788086907789","provider":"czechmovie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
