Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First UK Edition. First UK edition. Pages toned. 1990 Hard Cover. 436 pp. Translated from the Czech by Paul Wilson. 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.

Engineer of Human Souls: An Entertainment on the Old Themes of Life, Women, Fate, Dreams, The Working Class, Secret Agents.
Published by Alfred A. Knopf, Place_Pub: New York, 1984
ISBN 10: 039450500X ISBN 13: 9780394505008
Language: English
Seller: Ground Zero Books, Ltd., Silver Spring, MD, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
First Edition
Condition: good, good. First American Edition. 571, DJ somewhat worn and soiled, some edge wear. Complete subtitle: An entertainment on the old themes of life, women, fate, dreams, the working class, secret agents, love and death. The expression "the engineer of human souls" is held, by many political indoctrinators, to be Stalin's definition of a writer: as an engineer constructs a machine, so must a writer construct the mind of the New Man. "The Engineer of Human Souls" is a labyrinthine comic novel that investigates the journey and plight of novelist Danny Smiricky, a Czech immigrant to Canada. Josef Shvorecky is unquestionably an important writer, blending a great humorous talent with a restless, sustained, probing moral inquisitiveness. The author was awarded the Neustadt International Prize for Literature.
