<div>A fable about the power of books and knowledge, &ldquo;finely balanced between pathos and comedy,&rdquo; from one of Czechoslovakia&rsquo;s most popular authors (Los Angeles Times). A New York Times Notable Book Hant&aacute; has been compacting trash for thirty-five years. Every evening, he rescues books from the jaws of his hydraulic press, carries them home, and fills his house with them. Hant&aacute; may be an idiot, as his boss calls him, but he is an idiot with a difference&mdash;the ability to quote the Talmud, Hegel, and Lao-Tzu. In this &ldquo;irresistibly eccentric romp,&rdquo; the author Milan Kundera has called &ldquo;our very best writer today&rdquo; celebrates the power and the indestructibility of the written word (The New York Times Book Review).</div>
