About this ebook
Award-winning novel
***** One of the best modern Czech novels *****
Annotation:
The autobiographical hero of the novel embarks on a promising career in the not-so-moral world of door-to-door sales. Success seems easy and tempting, but halfway through becoming the perfect "scumbag" the young man finds he has no stomach for this world and begins to look for another life. He starts working as an autopsy photographer. The novel is both a kind of personal literary confession and a portrait of personal search and maturation.
Marek Hnila
Marek Hnila (* 31 May 1995, Šternberk) is a Czech writer, photographer, journalist and performer. He is the founder of a cultural association of authors creating so-called pure culture (culture of lartpourlartism). His works include the books Mezi tebou a mnou, Správná věc, Bratříček and Mezi dobrem a zlem. Bio He chose the field of high school and later college mainly because of the vision of easier employment. He was never brought up to believe that culture was a way to make a living. Already during his studies at the secondary school in Bruntál he wrote short stories. One of his first was a short story called The Price, which was later published as an e-book in cooperation with the Municipal Library in Prague. Within a month, The Price was among the 10 most popular titles offered at the Prague City Library in 2014. In 2015, he wrote the short story Who Commands Off the Record. The writer and publishing editor Vladimír Páral read this philosophical-political allegory and wrote a positive personal review of it. Despite his reclusive nature, he organised concerts, exhibitions and performances. Then, as a businessman, when he began to distinguish between the commercial and artistic worlds, he quit his studies, resigned from his job, and in 2017 founded a publishing house where he published his first printed book, Bratříček. He took a very unconventional view of his publishing house and presented his vision to the general public in a vague way. He criticized the distributors of his books, whom he accused of belittling the meaning of the word fiction and thus the art in literature. He invested all his earnings in his other works and projects. During the year he also held several photographic exhibitions, but his interest slowly began to focus exclusively on literary work. He moved frequently and changed his second job. In 2018, he published a collection of three novellas and one short story titled Between Good and Evil. The publication of this book led to the consolidation of the idea of Hnil's work and the philosophy of his publishing house. Hnila has started collaborating with the Municipal Library in Prague again. In the way he published his books, he promoted the idea of literary education in the Czech Republic, pointing out that "Art literature is for education, not for relaxation."
