Josef Skvorecky, celebrated Czechoslovakian writer and dissident, is revered for his poignant reflections on the human experience under totalitarianism. Through works like "The Engineer of Human Souls" and "The Bass Saxophone," Skvorecky illuminated the resilience of the human spirit in the face of oppression, earning him international acclaim as a literary voice of conscience.
"Lovers of literature will look for the remains of the golden treasure in that shipwreck on the bottom of the sea of criticism."
"There is something that falls short of perfection in every book, without exception, something influenced by the age, even something ridiculous; just like everyone, without exception, has weaknesses."
