Good jacket. New York. 1984. June 1984. Knopf. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 039450500x. Translated from the Czech by Paul Wilson. 573 pages. hardcover. Jacket illustration & design by Fred Marcellino. keywords: Europe Czech Literature Translated Eastern Europe World Literature. DESCRIPTION-In The Engineer of Human Souls, the protagonist is a novelist, Danny Smiricky, a Czech, who, feeling himself to be ‘too old to write for the desk drawer, ' fled his country in 1968 to find asylum in Canada. When we meet him, he has been-for nearly a decade-professor of American literature at Edenvale College in Toronto. He still sees his New World with Old World eyes, seduced by its freedom and security, charmed by its earnest decadence, exasperated by its political innocence. Having lived through Czechoslovakia's traumatic half-century, he sees Canada as a country without a past; he is deeply mistrustful of all ideologies. Danny finds much to divert him, much to satisfy ‘a writer's unscrupulous hunger, ' and has absolutely no nostalgia for Stalin's dictum that a writer should be an engineer of the soul of the New Socialist Man. The novel moves between the quirky calm of Danny's American present and the (unresolved) suspense of his past, that tragic, comic melodrama in which he stars as Youth; as feckless hero of the Resistance; as lover of Nadia the factory girl, his co-conspirator in sabotage; as hipster manquE of a small Bohemian town under the pall of the Nazi occupation-with a cast of heroes, traitors, cowards, hotheads and innocents. inventory #16697.
