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 mondiala a celui mai iubit autor din Republica Ceha intr-o propozitie uluitoare si uluitoare. Sfintii si pacatosii, imparatii si delapidatorii, servitoarele si balalaikele isi joaca toti rolul in reminiscentele obscure ale cizmarului lui Hrabal, in timp ce el fermeca un public de tinere frumuseti.
