Seller's Description:
Good, good. 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.
