IN TRANSITION",Albania, enigmatic, mysterious Albania, was always
the untold story of the Cold War, the 1989 revolutions and the fall
of the Berlin Wall. Mud Sweeter Than Honey goes a very long way
indeed towards putting that right", New EuropeanAfter breaking ties
with Yugoslavia, the USSR and then China, Enver Hoxha believed that
Albania could become a self-sufficient bastion of communism. Every
day, many of its citizens were thrown into prisons and forced
labour camps for daring to think independently, for rebelling
against the regime or trying to escape - the consequences of their
actions were often tragic and irreversible.Mud Sweeter than Honey
gives voice to those who lived in Albania at that time - from poets
and teachers to shoe-makers and peasant farmers, and many others
whose aspirations were brutally crushed in acts of unimaginable
repression - creating a vivid, dynamic and often painful picture of
this totalitarian state during the forty years of Hoxha's ruthless
dictatorship. Very little emerged from Albania during communist
times. With these personal accounts, Rejmer opens a window onto a
terrifying period in the country's history.Mud Sweeter than Honey
is not only a gripping work of reportage, but also a necessary and
unique portrait of a nation. With an Introduction by Tony

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.
