Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "One of the major works of literature produced in postwar Europe. this brilliant book must be read."-New York Review of BooksA clerk at the State Bank begins to notice that something strange is going on- bank employees are stuffing their pockets with money every day, only to have it taken ev…ery evening by the security guards who search the employees and confiscate the cash. But, there's a discrepancy between what is being confiscated and what is being returned to the bank, and our hero is beginning to fear that a secret circulation is developing, one that could undermine the whole economy.Meanwhile, the clerk and his family begin to keep guinea pigs, and at night, when everyone is asleep, our hero begins to conduct experiments with the pets, teaching them tricks, testing their intelligence and endurance, and using some rather questionable methods to encourage the animals to befriend him.Ludvk Vaculk's The Guinea Pigs is one of the most important literary works of the twentieth century. Vaculk owes much to Kafka, his fellow countryman, but he had direct experience of the oppressive absurdity that lived in Kafka's imagination, which here is expressed with an ironic and knowingly innocent Czech smile.Ludvk Vaculk is the author of a number of number of novels and essay collections. One of the leading literary figures during the Prague Spring of 1968, his manifesto The Two Thousand Words led to his banishment from the Communist Party, the censorship of his writing, and decades of persecution.Kca Polckov has translated numerous prominent Czech writer in addition to Ludvk Vaculk, including Josef Skvorecky and Bohumil Hrabal. A clueless bank clerk confused about basically everything "accidentally" tortures a couple guinea pigs. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Vaculík, Jan (illustrator).
