TOO LOUD A SOLITUDE is a tender and funny story of Hant'a - a man who has lived in a Czech police state - for 35 years, working as compactor of wastepaper and books. In the process of compacting, he has acquired an education so unwitting he can't quite tell which of his thoughts are his own and which come from his books. He has rescued many from jaws of hydraulic press and now his house is filled to the rooftops. Destroyer of the written word, he is also its perpetuator.
But when a new automatic press makes his job redundant there's only one thing he can do - go down with his ship.
This is an eccentric romp celebrating the indestructability- against censorship, political opression etc - of the written word.

„przez szklaną ścianę widziałem ciężarowe samochody, jak przywoziły paczki z książkami, ułożone równo aż po burty, całe nakłady książek, idące prosto na przemiał, zanim choćby jedna stroniczka zatruje ludzkie oczy, ludzki mózg i serce” Książki to niebezpieczna rzecz. Przez nie można zostać „wbrew ...
Il sottosuolo è misterioso e magnifico. Custode del fantastico e dell’orrorifico. Capace di suscitare entusiasmo e spavento. Meraviglia, sempre. Hanta conosce il sottosuolo. Da trentacinque anni vi pressa carta. Di tutti i tipi. Libri, riviste, carta sanguinolenta da macellaio. Parole e silenzi. Vit...
To moja druga książka Bohumila Hrabala. Druga, której wcale miało nie być, bo po lekturze "Auteczka" nie miałam ochoty sięgać po żadne inne tytuły tego autora. Jednak kilka przeczytanych wcześniej pochlebnych opinii o "Zbyt głośnej samotności" sprawiło, że przeprosiłam się z Hrabalem. Dziś jestem wd...
Rzuciłem się na Hrabala, jak spragniony na zimne piwo. Moje pragnienie nie gaśnie tylko się wzmaga. Hrabal niby ironicznie, niby niechcący, ale bardzo rozmyślnie gra na tych najważniejszych strunach ludzkiego istnienia. Od dwóch lat mieszkam sam na środku płaskowyżu patagońskiego w małej miejscowośc...
It reminds me of a more acculturate and aware Fahrenheit 451, while Montag had to discover his mission and the importance of book and culture, the opening of Hanta's story is: For thirty-five years now I've been in wastepaper, and it's my love story. Hanta is long-winded like the other protagonist...
