Too Loud a Solitude

For thirty-five years, Haňtá has worked compacting trash, but every evening, he secretly rescues books from the hydraulic press, bringing them home to fill his house. Though his boss calls him an idiot, Haňtá possesses a profound intellect, capable of quoting the Talmud, Hegel, and Lao-Tzu. This fable celebrates the enduring power of the written word through the eyes of an unlikely intellectual.
