A very noisy isolation

A very loud isolation novel written by the Czech novelist Bohumil Hrabal, he had written it in the seventies of the last century, and it was only published in 1989, due to the then police state censorship. It is from the edition of "Dar Al-Mutawassit," in its Arabic version in 2017, translated by Munir Alimi. There are titles that entice you from the very first moment. You take the book and put it in the shopping bag in a fleeting moment, as if you had a prior appointment with it. And the most beautiful thing is that what the book carries between its covers does not disappoint you, but is a logical result and absolute loyalty to the title, including the title of the novel "A Very Loud Isolation," which appeared twice in the narrative context, knowing that the novel is divided into eight chapters and spans 108 pages. A novel written with a flavor and density of poetry, sometimes you even think you are in front of a poem, until you wake up to the hydraulic machine that Hanta, the central character in the novel, works on, and his voice is almost the only one, rising with the building of the novel chapter after chapter.
