Valutazione del libro

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

In a Bohemian spa, eight characters dance to the rhythm of a waltz that grows increasingly frenetic: the beautiful nurse Rosa, who tries to force her lover into marriage through an alleged paternity; Klima, the jazz musician who loves his wife Kamila, plagued by jealousy; Franta, Rosa's admirer and the true father of her unborn child; Dr. Skreta, an extravagant gynecologist; Bertlef, a wealthy American who indulges in love and art out of fear of death; Jakub, a political prisoner released from jail, embarking on a journey to the West; and Olga, Jakub's foster daughter, whom he unexpectedly falls for. Each character seeks to find meaning in their lives through desperate and ever-changing pairings, navigating the absurdities and complexities of love, identity, and existence.
