Čudesne avanture Kavaliera & Claya
It's the 39th in Brooklyn, the Jewish neighborhood of New York. Sharing their last cigarette at the window, two cousins, Sammy Clayman and Joseph Kavalier, will share their dreams, fears, and hopes.
How did Michael Chabon, a young American writer who had so far shown only great promise, manage to create a literary masterpiece that functions flawlessly on all the levels required by top literature from a trivial story about trivial art? Chabon, himself impressed by the demanding nature of the task he set himself, says that all the pieces of the puzzle miraculously fell into place. Critics, who all give the novel an unreserved five stars, crowned it with the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 2001. Declaring it the last great American novel of the twentieth century. You can experience Michael Chabon's The Wonderful Adventures of Kavalier and Clay as an exciting, multi-layered tale of America in the forties. As a poignant war epic about the powerlessness of the individual in the grinding mill of history. As a classic love story about desire that knows no boundaries of time and space. But most of all as an imposing pointillist canvas whose complete perfection you only see when you take a few steps back. Every word, every comma, every metaphor, everything is in the right place.
