Název:

Gottland - Mostly True Stories from Half of Czechoslovakia

Popis:

Winner of the Europe Book Prize One of Europe`s most preeminent investigative journalists travels to the Czech Republic--the Czech half of the former Czechoslovakia, the land that brought us Kafka--to explore the surreal fictions and the extraordinary reality of its twentieth century. For example, there`s the story of the small businessman who adopted Henry Ford`s ideas on productivity to create the world`s largest shoe company--and hired modernist giants such as Le Corbusier to design his company towns (which were also the birthplaces of Ivana Trump and Tom Stoppard). Or the story of Kafka`s niece, who loaned her name to writers blacklisted under the Communist regime so they could keep publishing. Or the story of the singer Karel Gott, winner of the country`s Best Male Vocalist Award thirty-six years in a row, whose summer home, "Gottland," is the Czech Dollywood. Based on meticulous research and hundreds of interviews with everyone from filmmakers to writers to pop stars to ordinary citizens, "Gottland" is a kaleidoscopic portrait of a resilient people living through difficult and often bizarre times--equally funny, disturbing, stirring and absurd . . . in a word, Kafkaesque.
