The gentle and intense characters drag the reader into the background of a fascinating London. A book with simple plot, but rich in considerations that emerge from the protagonist\u2019s naivety. The hints on labour and immigrant expliotation is interesting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Imi doesn\u2019t know his parents and didn\u2019t have a normal childhood. But in the Hungarian orphanage he grew up, he learnt many things: the art of bartering, the passion and cruelty of every real game, the unhappiness of being lonely and the happiness of small things. When he turns eighteen, Imi can decide what to do with his life, and feels steadfast and strong. For the first time, he crosses the pokey borders he grew up in, and moves to London, where he starts working as waiter in a big coffeehouse chain. From the old lady that accommodates him, to the colleague he becomes friend of, everybody tries to convince him that what in his eyes appears to be part of a good and intelligent mechanism aimed at everyone\u2019s happiness in the crawling roads of London actually is ruled by petty rules connected to profit. Nobody will be able to convince him, until life will take it upon opening his na\u00efve eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
