Trumpetové sólo – Haidler Jaroslav (2021)

Anyone who loves Louis Armstrong should read the short story 'Trumpet Solo,' which presents an exciting tale of a man for whom the jazz trumpet became an ally in a complex intelligence game. 'Café Blues' takes you into the world of young people trying to maintain their integrity during a totalitarian regime. The adventurous story 'The Last Game' tells the tale of people who often find themselves on the wrong side of the law. 'Adonis' is, in turn, a story set in the Protectorate, revealing the ugly side of some Czechs. The reader is taken back 40 years with 'Viennese Blood.' It is not about a murder, but a concert of a phenomenal violinist, during which one of the boldest intelligence games was set in motion. 'There at the Heavenly Gates' is a playful narrative about how the date of birth does not influence a person's fate. The collection concludes with the story 'Assassination of Lenin.' It is not about the leader of the world proletariat, but about a cat and the troubles it caused.
