Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In Europe, taking a walk is a cultural phenomenon having an almost mystical import. It connects physical activity with meditation, silence within amid the tumult without. Taking its cue both from Joyce's Ulysses and Hrabal's stream of anecdote, Of Kids & Parents is about a father and son tak…ing a walk through Prague, over the course of which, and in the pubs and bars they stop into, their personal lives are revealed as entwined with the past sixty years of upheaval in their corner of Europe. One's small history is inseparable from the large History that is played out on the world's stage: families are uprooted, relationships fail, and still life goes on as it always does. Hakl's genius is his ability to mesh the two into a seamless flow of dialogue. As the father tells his son: "Nothing's been new in this world for more than two billion years, it's all just variations on the same theme of carbon, hydrogen, helium, and nitrogen." The point being that even though Prague over the course of a century has experienced monarchy, democracy, fascism, communism, and democratic capitalism once again, as wars, putsches, and revolutions have come and gone, what really has changed? The novel was awarded the Magnesia Litera Book of the Year in 2002 and is currently being made into a feature film due for release in 2008. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Softcover. Condición: Fair. Aus Bibliothek aussortiert. This book, published by Twisted Spoon Press in Prague, explores the cultural significance of walking in Europe, intertwining physical activity with meditation and reflection. Drawing inspiration from Joyce's Ulysses and Hrabal's anecdotal style, it follows a father and son…as they stroll through Prague, revealing their personal lives against the backdrop of sixty years of regional upheaval. The narrative illustrates how individual "small histories" are inextricably linked to larger historical events, showcasing themes of family disruption, failed relationships, and the cyclical nature of life amidst change. The father muses, "Nothing's been new in this world for more than two billion years; it's all just variations on the same theme of carbon, hydrogen, helium, and nitrogen." This prompts a reflection on Prague's tumultuous past--its shifting governments, wars, and revolutions--and questions what has truly changed over time. The story suggests that, on a personal level, the same mistakes continue to recur, creating a perpetual cycle of challenges. Currently being translated into various European languages, this novel won the Magnesia Litera Book of the Year award in 2003 and has been adapted into a feature film.

Paperback. Condición: Good. Of Kids and Parents (2008) by Emil Hakl ? Twisted Spoon Press ? Good Condition Family conversations are wonderful things. They can begin with beer, weather, an old story or a harmless question and, with very little encouragement, end up somewhere around regret, sex, communism, death, resentment, child…hood trauma and who exactly ruined whose life. In Of Kids and Parents , Czech writer Emil Hakl gives us a father and son walking, drinking and talking their way through Prague, which sounds pleasantly civilised until it becomes clear that decades of accumulated family history have joined them for the evening. The basic set-up is beautifully simple: a middle-aged son spends time with his elderly father. They wander through the city, stop for drinks, remember the past, disagree about it, remember it differently, change the subject, return to it, insult one another slightly, become unexpectedly tender and then resume arguing. In other words, a perfectly normal family outing. What emerges is a sharp, funny and sometimes melancholy portrait of two generations trying to understand one another while carrying very different versions of the twentieth century around in their heads. The father has lived through war, authoritarian rule, political upheaval and the strange compromises required simply to get on with ordinary life. The son belongs to another generation entirely, viewing both his father and the history surrounding him with a mixture of affection, irritation, scepticism and the unavoidable knowledge that he is becoming older himself. Their conversation moves effortlessly between the profound and the ridiculous. One moment they are touching on politics, history or mortality. The next they are discussing women, food, drink or some ancient family grievance that apparently remains legally actionable several decades later. Hakl is particularly good at the strange mixture of intimacy and hostility found in long-established family relationships. These are people who can say things to one another that would cause immediate diplomatic relations to be severed between ordinary acquaintances, yet who remain connected by something much stronger than politeness. The result is less a conventional plot-driven novel than a prolonged, wonderfully observed encounter between two men who know each other extremely well and understand each other considerably less. Prague itself provides an atmospheric backdrop: streets, pubs and familiar places becoming part of the conversation as personal memory and national history overlap. The city is not merely scenery but a landscape through which both men carry their own associations, stories and versions of what has happened there. There is also an appealing looseness to the book. Conversations wander because real conversations wander. Important subjects arrive without warning and disappear before anyone has properly resolved them. Memories contradict one another. Serious revelations sit next to jokes. Nobody produces a neat concluding statement explaining what the family has learned. Which is reassuring, because actual families almost never do that either. Published in English by Twisted Spoon Press in 2008 , this is one of those intriguing works of modern European fiction that can feel both very specifically Czech and completely universal. You do not need to know Prague, Czech history or the particular politics of Central Europe to recognise the underlying situation: an adult child realising that a parent is simultaneously a familiar figure, an irritating relative and an entire human life containing decades of experiences that may never be fully understood. The humour keeps the book from sinking into solemnity. Hakl allows affection and absurdity to coexist, producing the sort of dialogue in which a profound observation about life may be immediately followed by somebody ordering another drink. This copy is in Good condition , meaning it has survived its own encounters with parents, children, bookshelves and previous ownership without developing any serious family disputes of which we are aware. ISBN 9788086264301 . Ideal for readers of contemporary European fiction, Czech literature, conversational novels, complicated family relationships, dark humour and books in which two people can spend an enormous amount of time together while still avoiding saying precisely what they mean. Also suitable for anyone who has ever gone for a quiet drink with a parent and accidentally ended up discussing forty years of unresolved history. Sold by Crappy Old Books ? where family arguments are not included, generational misunderstandings are plentiful, and nobody is required to phone their parents after purchase. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE.
