About the book: 2006 / A witty, brilliantly written book by a contemporary Czech writer living in France - a stylistic experiment in the spirit of absurdity and burlesque. The 20th century in it is a rhetorical figure and fiction, a merciless mix of absurd slogans, ridiculous beliefs and stereotypes. In 2001, “Europeana” was recognized in the Czech Republic as “Book of the Year”. Translated into twenty languages.
