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 plin de viata incapsuleaza viziunea asupra lumii a celui mai iubit autor al Republicii Cehe intr-o propozitie uluitoare si uluitoare. Sfintii si pacatosii, imparatii si delapidatorii, servitoarele si balalaikele isi joaca toti rolul in reminiscentele obscenoase ale cizmarului lui Hrabal, in timp ce el fermeca o audienta de tinere frumuseti.
