Alone with his memories, he writes to his "dearest Hanichka", confessing everything: the hope of a love affair for which he travelled to Paris, the discovery of the German warrant for his arrest, and the murder he was forced to commit. A claustrophobic classic of Czech literature, The Hideout is one man's last love letter to his wife. As he contends with his failing eyesight and the loss of his teeth, so too must he grapple with the guilt of leaving his family and the dwindling hope of ever returning home. 546 $a Translated from the Czech. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Paris $z Paris $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Engineers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Love-letters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Long, Fern, $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230203012153.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171003031936.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0815D0CE621111E7BC2B04C5DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
