A thriller from the realms of high finance, based on events that
are all-too-true… Immediately after publication in the Czech
Republic, the book became a bestseller. In 2015 it won the Reader’s
Award for Best Book in the prestigious Czech literary competition,
the Magnesia Litera. What at first glance appears to be a
run-of-the-mill madcap adventure story very quickly becomes a
fundamental statement about the state of today’s financial world.
What first appears to be a simple situation comedy unexpectedly
turns into a sarcastic and visionary description of the world of
finance and politics. The dry, situation-based humor gradually
escalates into looming tension which culminates in an unexpected
psychological revelation and a highly pertinent warning for all of
society. The authors, leading Czech economists and authors of
several bestsellers, have an insiders’ knowledge of the environment
they describe. Each of the characters and events has a real role
model in the real world, which the authors have altered to fit the
needs of the plot. The most fantastic aspect of this book is that
many of the warnings it gives, which seemed impossible when it was
first published (for example the possible disintegration of the
EU), have since come true! And many that still could, remain… In
the book, an idiosyncratic couple is shocked to discover that under
the surface of today’s society everything is different from what it
seems at first glance. They find out more about how rotten the
system is than even they themselves want to know –or than “others”
want them to know. But who are these “others,” and why do they want
to liquidate them? And can the approaching financial apocalypse and
collapse of the entire financial system be averted? This book will
change the way you see the people around you. And the notion that
we all live in a Matrix will cease to seem impossible.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
