In post-communist Europe, they have the freedom to study and work in places their parents couldn't even have visited--Paris, London, Helsinki, and Budapest. But the reality of that \"freedom,\" they soon discover, is often nothing more than tedious work and poor living conditions. From close looks at the work of a housekeeper at a French hotel, a bartender at an Irish pub, a snowboarding instructor in Slovakia in the winter and an office worker in London in the summer, and a programmer in Helsinki, to explorations of larger topics such as marriage, divorce, and relationships, Zuska Kepplová's novel is a millennials' odyssey--a search for the self by the post-Cold War generation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eZuska Kepplová\u003c\/b\u003e is an editor and political commentator for the daily newspaper \u003ci\u003eSME. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eMagdalena Mullek\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent literary translator and scholar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 9.29 x 6.21 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 20, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51764159611168,"sku":"9781803092546","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/fdd78486a92e15248cc2a1dc8fdf4842.webp?v=1780244299","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-moon-in-foil-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
