"A tremendous novel: powered by an uncompromising ferocious energy and exhibiting a brutally dark sense of humour that is both ruthless and exhilarating. An amazing find." says William Boyd. What is he on about? Rivers of Babylon by Peter Pist'anek. In HB at just £12.99 lovingly translated by Peter Petro. 1989 - "Socialism" crumbles and "coat baron" capitalism is born. If you like me sight history books dull then this is a novel that claims to give a powerful insight into the extraordinary changes that took displace through most of East and Central Europe in the late 80's early 90's. Well now I experience what I'll be reading this pass thanks Garnett touch.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
