The Miracle Game (originally Mirakl) is a Czech novel by Josef ?kvorecky published in 1972 by Sixty Eight Publishers in Toronto, Canada. It was translated into English in 1990 by Paul Wilson, and according to The Times is Skvorecky's masterpiece.[1] It was his response to Prague Spring events of 1968 Czechoslovakia.[2] and contains unflattering references to real people, Future Czech President Vaclav Havel becomes "the world-famous playwright Hejl", the writer Bohumil Hrabal appears as the "gifted non-party novelist Nabal".[3] In a Bohemian church in 1948 an apparent miracle is denounced as a hoax by the Communist party. Danny Smiricky (the hero of ?kvorecky's 1977 novel The Engineer of Human Souls who also appeared in the previous novel "The Cowards")[4] was present at the church but slept through the event. Twenty years later the case is re-examined during the Prague Spring.[3]--Wikipedia. Seller Inventory # 2321381
