Foreword by Graham Greene. Translated from the Czech by Peter Kussi. 297 pages. hardcover. GP-723. Cover design by Kenneth R. Deardoff. keywords: Literature Translated Czech Eastern Europe . FROM THE PUBLISHER - In this novel, Josef Skvorecky tells a spellbinding story of moral corruption and political cynicism in the guise of a love story that turns into a murder mystery. Karel Leden falls in love with Lenka, a beautiful girl with shiny black hair, the minute he sees her on the beach clad in a scanty bikini. But Lenka rebuffs Karel's advances, preferring instead the company of Karel's boss, a balding, middle-aged Communist party official. after a nocturnal boat ride with Lenka his body is washed ashore. The police call it a tragic accident. Who is Lenka? A girl with a mysterious past, a beautiful tramp who teases her lovers? Karel can't make her out, In anguish he begins to drink, in desperation he plays detective. What he discovers is part of the gruesome history of our time. And what had begun as a story of love's labors lost suddenly turns into a political whodunit in which the victim, instead of the murderer, is the criminal. But beyond being a diverting thriller, this novel also offers a remarkable account of life among the privileged few in a Communist society, the first book to give us a glimpse of the underworld of intellectual pimp and literary prostitute that rules the cultural establishment, a truly authentic picture of the corrosion of the spirit that besets the party hacks and party-line writers, of hypocrisy rewarded and idealism betrayed. Skvorecky sets his story against the background of a State run publishing company, and he provides an astonishing tour of the literary machine of a Communist state. inventory #34208 Very Small Moisture Mark On Front Free Endpaper,Otherwise Very Good in Dustjacket.
