Amongst many side stories this novel is about Josef and Kv\u011bta, about their trials and tribulations during the second half of the Twentieth Century. They share the interest for the culture of the Hittites and Josef gains a passion for deciphering the ancient language. Josef gets for political reasons imprisoned in the fifties and Kv\u011bta starts an affair with Josef\u2019s former friend who betrayed him. After Josef\u2019s return from prison the tensions between him Kv\u011bta are increasing and they grow apart from each other, despite of having a daughter Alice. Later on Josef\u2019s death a letter written by him in cuneiform script is found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This first novel by Tom\u00e1\u0161 Zme\u0161kal is constructed like a kaleidoscope of various stories, with their own narrative line and own characters. All characters are however in some way linked to each other and as a whole the construction of the book resembles films like Magnolia<\/em> or Pulp Fiction<\/em>, in which different characters cross the path of others, and when the story is cut up in different scenes and jumps to and fro in time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
