A young boy grows up in Terezin (Theresienstadt) \u2013 an infamous fortress town with a sinister past, Together with his friends he plays happily amidst the walls of this former Nazi prison, scouting the tunnels for fragments of history under the careful eye of one of its survivors, Uncle Lebo, until one day there is an accident, and he is forced to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Returning to Terezin many years later, he joins Lebo\u2019s campaign to preserve the town, and the pair quickly attract donations from wealthy benefactors, a steady stream of tourists buying souvenir t-shirts and a cult-like following of young travelers, among them the beautiful, red-headed Maru\u0161ka. But before long the authorities impose a brutal crack-down, chaos ensues, and the narrator finds himself fleeing to Belarus in pursuit of Maru\u0161ka, where fresh horrors of the Nazi and communist killing fiends drive him ever closer to the evils he had hoped to escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bold, brilliant and blackly comic,The Devil’s Workshop<\/em> paints a deeply troubling portrait of two countries dealing with their ghosts and asks: at what point do we consign the past to history?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Devil\u2019s Workshop<\/em> received the PEN Award for Writing in Translation 2013, was shortlisted for the Dutch European Literature Prize 2011 and the Polish Angelus prize 2014, and was on the longlist for the Dublin Literary Award 2015.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Devil\u2019s Workshop is a miracle of compression, its scope greater than ought to be possible for a book of its length. It should help to cement J\u00e1chym Topol\u2019s reputation as one of the most original and compelling European voices at work today.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 The Times Literary Supplement<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe Irresistible Heart of Darkness: J\u00e1chym Topol and the Devil to Pay. The text is simultaneously callous and mournful, and one of Topol\u2019s best pieces\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 The Quarterly Conversation<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cBlending fact and fiction, Topol\u2019s darkly comic novel, lucidly translated by Alex Zucker, is a hard-hitting exploration of two nations bedevilled by past horrors.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
