Noćni posao

Jachym Topol

Night Work is a novel between reality and phantasmagoria, a novel about 1968 and growing up.

The main characters, thirteen-year-old Ondra and his younger brother Kamil, are taken by their father from Prague to their grandfather's village on the border of Germany and Poland in the face of Russian tanks. Over the course of several months, the boys go through dramatic moments, their father is pursued by the secret police, they compete with village boys in the mystical mountains full of bunkers that hide secrets from World War II, and in the attic of their grandfather's house there are papers that everyone needs. Tense, exciting, magical, Topol's Night Job depicts the Czech Republic as we do not know it and the revolution of 1968 from the perspective of a boy at the beginning of puberty.
