Items related to Guinea Pigs ('London Magazine' editions)
The Guinea Pigs is a chilling fable about dehumanization and alienation representing Vaculik's vision of the menace of Soviet domination in the wake of the 1969 invasion. Written in 1970, it is a sweeping condemnation of totalitarianism, embedded in a rich, imaginative, highly experimental narrative. In the words of the New York Review of Books it is "one of the major works of literature produced in postwar Europe."

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. This novel, set in Prague and its surrounding suburbs, has the elements of an allegorical play - a tight theme with variations, a small cast whose members are assigned exemplary roles, and a moral lesson or two (made ambiguous by the novel's surprising denouement). Unlike the idealized or generalized depictions of a more classical allegory, each of the people portrayed here is thoroughly individuated. Due to age and/or environmental conditions, the pages of this book have darkened. Former library book. Ex-Libris and is stamped as such. Mylar protector included. Please note the image in this listing is a stock photo and may not match the covers of the actual item. Ex-Library. Seller Inventory # 123691053
