Život jako dým

Rate this book
Někdy se člověk probudí a chvíli přemýšlí, jestli to, co právě zažil, byl sen, nebo skutečnost. Hrdinové devíti povídek čínského spisovatele jsou takové nejistotě vystaveni často. Celkem běžně překračují ze světa živých do světa mrtvých, to, co se jim stane ve snu, je stejně důležité jako to, co zažívají ve skutečnosti. Někdy to berou s humorem, jindy jim při tom běhá mráz po zádech. A tak máme příležitost dozvědět se, jaké nepříjemnosti člověk zažije, když si ho spletou s někým jiným, co se honí hlavou řidiči náklaďáku, když usmrtí dítě, jak hledí na svět vesnický blázen, nebo jak to vypadá ve vsi, kde vládne věštec posedlý touhou po dosažení dlouhověkosti.

About the author

Yu Hua

120 books1,244 followers
Yu Hua (simplified Chinese: 余华; traditional Chinese: 余華; pinyin: Yú Huá) is a Chinese author, born April 3, 1960 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. He practiced dentistry for five years and later turned to fiction writing in 1983 because he didn't like "looking into people’s mouths the whole day." Writing allowed him to be more creative and flexible.[citation needed] He grew up during the Cultural Revolution and many of his stories and novels are marked by this experience. One of the distinctive characteristics of his work is his penchant for detailed descriptions of brutal violence.

Yu Hua has written four novels, six collections of stories, and three collections of essays. His most important novels are Chronicle of a Blood Merchant and To Live. The latter novel was adapted for film by Zhang Yimou. Because the film was banned in China, it instantly made the novel a bestseller and Yu Hua a worldwide celebrity. His novels have been translated into English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Persian, Polish, Spanish, Swedish, Hungarian, Serbian, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Malayalam and Turkish.
