SELECTION OF REVIEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n

MONEY FROM HITLER is a book that literally shakes you up.
\nThe novel tells a classic story of persecution and expulsion, and the struggle to achieve justice.
\nRadka Denemarkov\u00e1 has created a substantial and literary contribution to the great chronicle of the history of German-Czech-Jewish relations. <\/p>\n

From the statement of the Georg Dehio Prize jury<\/p>\n

The author’s approach to the subject is somewhat different than one might expect, she certainly does not limit herself to historical facts, which are often repeated only as facts about something that happened years ago, which can evoke emotions, but there are limits beyond which they cannot go.
\nRadka Denemarkov\u00e1 is a great writer, but more important is her insight.
\nBoth of these qualities meet in symbiosis, she can find words that express deep thoughts.
\nAnd it should be noted that these are primarily her thoughts, although she can extract important elements of other thinkers’ work and synthesize them in an original way. <\/p>\n

Ji\u0159\u00ed Loj\u00edn, Va\u0161eLiteratura.cz<\/p>\n

Radka Denemarkov\u00e1 has joined those who are suspected of winning the Nobel Prize in Literature<\/p>\n

Daniela Strigl, Ex libris, \u00d6RF \u00d61<\/p>\n

In love with language and metaphors, she is a great breaker of taboos and an authority on the themes of contemporary Czech literature.<\/p>\n

Neue Z\u00fcrcher Zeitung<\/p>\n

Radka Denemarkov\u00e1 has joined those who are suspected of winning the Nobel Prize in Literature<\/p>\n

Daniela Strigl, Ex libris, \u00d6RF \u00d61<\/p>\n

The Hours of Lead is an unusually large and multi-layered novel that is purposefully conceived as a political work of art that wants to have an impact.
\nIt thematises the contemporary face of Chinese society as a totalitarian regime, but at the heart of this view is not so much the way society functions as the fate of those who find themselves in the position of victim.
\nThe novel’s execution resigns to the traditional conception of the characters as unique beings to whom often random events happen.
\nThe characters of The Hours of Lead represent symbolic types, as in the tradition of ancient myth.
\nThey represent the professions, actions and attitudes through which the chillingly fateful events are played out.
\nHere, private destinies are completely ensnared by the unstoppable mechanisms of society: the rise of China’s power is at the same time the counterpoint to the collapsing values of European civilisation, which is in a crisis from which there is no way out.
\nThe Lead Clock is an attempt to write a novel that is meant to disabuse the reader of the miserable feeling that he is reading “just” a well-crafted story. <\/p>\n

The Magnesia Litera Prize jury.<\/p>\n

Denemark skillfully and with novel linguistic skills connects worlds and political systems.<\/p>\n

Bernd Melichar, Kleine Zeitung<\/p>\n

HOURS FROM OLOV in no way and nowhere and never conceals the fact that it is a politically engaged book.
\nThe fact that Radka Denemarkov\u00e1 is able to translate her undisguised literary commitment into such a breathtaking poetic language and such an original form makes her one of the most interesting contemporary authors ever. <\/p>\n

Veronika Schuchter, Die Furche<\/p>\n

Radka Denemarkov\u00e1 writes with great sensitivity and openness, without focusing on herself.
\nAs a committed writer with a great deal of range, she uses personal experience, foreign travel experiences and attitudes to draw attention to diverse foreign worlds, portray socially crucial topics and bring complex intellectual and artistic testimony.
\nHer intransigence goes hand in hand with a profound reflection that constantly re-examines all events and circumstances of human destinies: she does so in unison with linguistic brilliance and depth of content. <\/p>\n

Jury of the Styrian Literary Prize<\/p>\n

The book is a colossus, even from a purely external point of view – but a colossus that opens up whole worlds.<\/p>\n

Cornelia Gei\u00dfler, Berliner Zeitung<\/p>\n

It can be read as a remarkable factual testimony to the dual struggle for identity: first of the novel’s protagonist, then, as the writing progresses, more and more insistently of its author.<\/p>\n
