Vita Nuova showcases Hrabal's legendary bohemian intellectual life, particularly his relationship with Vladimír Boudník. Hrabal creates a shrewd, lively portrait of Eastern European intellectual life in the mid-twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bohumil Hrabal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810125463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810125469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 6.58w x 0.70d","brand":"Bohumil Hrabal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46136285987071,"sku":"9780810125469","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_de037567-5a80-4402-986d-44289ce1000b.jpg?v=1726416227","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vita-nuova-bohumil-hrabal-9780810125469","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
