El Ruletista (Spanish, Paperback)

Banned for years in Romania, this brilliant narrative of European literature tells the unlikely story of an unlucky man who, surprisingly, makes a fortune in deadly sessions of Russian roulette. Feverish crowds get in line to participate in the ceremonies of death and redemption that give way to mass hysteria. This novel attempts to explain how a dull man ends up as someone seemingly immortal and impregnable when, in fact, he only breeds the desperate spirit of self-destruction. "Prohibido durante anos en Rumania, este relato brillante de la literatura europea cuenta la historia poco probable de un hombre de mala suerte que, sorprendentemente, gana una fortuna en sesiones mortales de la ruleta rusa. Multitudes febriles se ponen en fila para participar en las ceremonias de muerte y redencion que ceden a la histeria colectiva. Esta novela trata de explicar como un hombre aburrido termina siendo una persona aparentemente ""inmortal e invulnerable cuando, en realidad, solo engendra el espiritu desesperado de la autodestruccion."
