Very Good in Very Good jacket. Size: 3x2x1; First UK edition. Pages toned. 1990 Hard Cover. 436 pp. Translated from the Czech by Paul Wilson. The Miracle Game (originally Mirakl) is a Czech novel by Josef Å kvorecky published in 1972 by Sixty Eight Publishers in Toronto, Canada. It was translated into English in 1990 by Paul Wilson, and according to The Times is Skvorecky's masterpiece. [1] It was his response to Prague Spring events of 1968 Czechoslovakia. [2] and contains unflattering references to real people, Future Czech President Vaclav Havel becomes "the world-famous playwright Hejl", the writer Bohumil Hrabal appears as the "gifted non-party novelist Nabal". [3] In a Bohemian church in 1948 an apparent miracle is denounced as a hoax by the Communist party. Danny Smiricky (the hero of Å kvorecky's 1977 novel The Engineer of Human Souls who also appeared in the previous novel "The Cowards")[4] was present at the church but slept through the event. Twenty years later the case is re-examined during the Prague Spring. [3]--Wikipedia.
