Resumen:
From Nazi Europe to Canada in the 1970s, "The Engineer of Human Souls" is an epic novel spanning the most tumultuous decades of the twentieth century. This is the story of Danny Smiricky, a Czech writer who flees his country in 1968 to find refuge in the seemingly peaceful world of Canadian academia. Despite the new life Danny creates for himself, he is haunted by memories of his homeland, of the woman he loved there, his time in the resistance, and the memory of a very different world with very different people. "The Engineer of Human Souls" is both a tragic history of East and West since the Second World War and a labyrinthine comic novel as embodied in the life of one man.
