Binding square and secure; text clean. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 247pp. Translated by Peter Petro. Foreward by Vaclav Havel. First Ed thus; First Printing indicated. Trade Paperback. This book is about a young man, Milan, in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia during the 1980's. His father is imprisoned as a dissident, Milan is a non-conformist and the Communist state is not his friend. Milan is in turns a hospital orderly and a hardware store clerk, when he is working. The story is intensely personal involving the reader in Milan's thoughts and feelings as he is confronted by the shocks of his eventful life. The story provides insight into the dreary and oppressive life during that period, but more importantly the author is able to make the reader feel the impact of the sometimes ordinary, sometimes traumatic events Milan experiences, and to make his discoveries, joys and anguish our own. It is philosophical as the main character tries at all turns to extract meaning and personal guidance from what he witnesses. It is also very much a love story and shows the great awe and mystery he finds in his girlfriend, Tania, and other women. This is not always pleasant to read but is gripping in the way that it unfolds his hazardous life without disclosing where it is going, if indeed it is going anywhere.

The other half of us is nearly mad . This fight can be observed constantly in our personal lives." ~ from Black Lamb and Grey Falcon. A recent New York Times Book Review homage to Black Lamb and Grey Falcon celebrated Dame Rebecca West's masterpiece in terms that apply equally well to any number of her works: "This supreme literary monument of one of the most brilliant writers of the twentieth century challenged Britain and America to cherish an image of Europe in its full moral and political dimensions. Almost fifty years after its original publication, it astonishes us by the weight and depth of what Rebecca West knew about Yugoslavia." Any number of words could be substituted for "Yugoslavia" in this sentence; West's restless, ferocious intelligence took her into every corner of the world in every conceivable genre, and her ability to astonish with what she found there was seemingly never~ceasing. But if her gifts were protean, her agenda was immutable, to make of her life a campaign against tyranny, prejudice, and cant. In waging that campaign without fear or favor, she became a hero of her time, and of ours. A novelist, critic, biographer, travel writer, and investigative journalist, Rebecca West had a keen eye for conflict, and a razor tongue for battle. Called "George Bernard Shaw in skirts" by pundits, she was a woman both feted for her achievements and feared for her cutting wit~"With malice toward all" was her motto, and her barbs are legend. Yet her vitriol was a mask for the pain she spent her life trying to escape. Born Cicily Fairfield to a ne'er~do well, sexually abusive father and an emotionally fragile mother, she took the name Rebecca West from a strongwilled character in an Ibsen play, and thus began the remarkable process of reinvention that would culminate in her being named Dame of the British Empire at the peak of her career. West's first great love was H. G. Wells, with whom she had a son out of wedlock; her stormy relationship with both father and son would plague her throughout her life. She traveled around the world for her writing, and her fame, beauty, and wit drew men to her wherever she went. She left behind a notable train in her wake, including the likes of Wells, Lord Beaverbrook, and Charlie Chaplin. Drawing upon a wealth of never~before~seen archival material and interviews with family and friends, authorized biographer Carl Rollyson has recreated this singular life with compassion, animation, and rare insight. He has plumbed deeply, to the truth behind Dame West's outrageous reputation, and~a harder feat~he has taken the first full measure of her dazzling range of accomplishments. At last, one of this century's most gifted and colorful writers has been given the biography she so richly deserves. …
