A Czech Dreambook by Ludvik Vaculik
A dreamlike novel that is a classic of dissident literature from Czechoslovakia, in English for the first time; Havel called it a truly profound and perceptive account.
"A novel about hope and hopelessness, about ever-present danger, about the strange dreamlike quality of life in a totalitarian system, about the absurdity of present-day 'civilized' living, about losing a home and the disintegration of time and human identity, about love, about nature, about courage, about fear, about death"--V�clav Havel, dissident playwright and the first post-Communist president of Czechoslovakia "Whether they liked it or not, ACzech Dreambook supplied many dissidents with their most intense reading experience of the normalization years."--Jonathan Bolton, Harvard University professor of Slavic languages and literature, in his book "Worlds of Dissent" "I could write a whole novel about Vacul�k, except that he has already written one about himself. The novel is entitled A Czech Dreambook and tells a lot about the things you won't even want to believe could have really happened."--Ivan Klima, dissident and acclaimed novelist
