Highly, highly recommend both the book and the 1969 Czech film of the same name. I’ve never read a holocaust book like this one, an understanding of the rise of totalitarianism told from a survivors’ perspective. How easily your average albeit creepy and perverted man can be twisted into the workings of a cruel regime. Fuks beautifully repeats and distorts language to illustrate Mr. Kopfrkingl’s worldview and desires for purity.

Potom, co nám o téhle knížce vyprávěla naše učitelka na češtinu jsem nabyla dojmu, že jde o nějakou brutální knížku, kde se každou chvíli prolévá krev. Celkově to je dobrá knížka, la epřece jenom jsem byla trochu zklamaná.
