Dancing Lessons for the Advanced in Age

This ebullient, gallivanting novel encapsulates the world vision of the Czech Republic's best-loved author in one tumbling, breathtaking sentence. Saints and sinners, emperors and embezzlers, barmaids and balalaikas all play their part in the bawdy reminiscences of Hrabal's cobbler as he charms an audience of young beauties.

Acest roman exuberant si galant surprinde viziunea asupra lumii a celui mai indragit autor al Republicii Cehe intr-o singura propozitie uluitoare si captivanta. Sfinti si pacatosi, imparati si delapidatori, barmanite si balalaice, toti isi joaca rolul in amintirile lascive ale cizmarului lui Hrabal, in timp ce acesta fermeca un public de tinere frumuseti.
