Lod Airport, Israel: Two Concorde jets take off for a U.N. conference that will finally bring peace to the Middle East. Covered by F-14 fighters, accompanied by security men, the planes carry warriors, pacifists, lovers, enemies, dignitaries -- and a bomb planted by a terrorist mastermind. Suddenly they're forced to crash-land at an ancient desert site. Here, with only a handful of weapons, the men and women of the peace mission must make a desperate stand against an army of crack Palestinian commandos -- while the Israeli authorities desperately attempt a rescue mission. In a land of blood and tears, in a windswept place called Babylon, it will be a battle of bullets and courage, and a war to the last death.

It is 1989. Across Central Europe, socalism is crumbling, and robber capitalism is being born. Rivers of Babylon tells this story of a Central Europe, where criminals, intellectuals and secret policemen have infiltrated a new democracy, through the eyes of Racz, sociopathic gangster and idiot of genius. Slovak readers acknowledge Peter Pist'anek as their most flamboyant and fearless writer, stripping the nation of its myths and false self-esteem.

The north and the west and the south are good hunting ground, but it is forbidden to go east. It is forbidden to go to any of the Dead Places except to search for metal and then he who touches the metal must be a priest or the son of a priest. Afterwards, both the man and the metal must be purified. These are the rules and the laws; they are well made. It is forbidden to cross the great river and look upon the place that was the Place of the Gods-this is most strictly forbidden. We do not even say its name though we know its name. It is there that spirits live, and demons-it is there that there are the ashes of the Great Burning. These things are forbidden- they have been forbidden since the beginning of time.

Rowing upon the Tigris River to enjoy a summer campfire on the tiny islands that emerged every summer, teenaged Joseph Samuels never could have imagined that these waters would soon become his only hope for freedom. At the age of 19, he was forced to leave his family behind as he smuggled out of Iraq in the secret hold of a Basra riverboat to escape the violent and repressive anti-Semitism that, over the next few years, would spell the end of the two-millennium old Iraqi Jewish community. Beyond the Rivers of Babylon follows Joe's remarkable journey, from his colorful childhood in the Old Jewish Quarter of Baghdad, to his life-altering service in the Israeli Navy, to starting a family and building a real estate empire in Montreal and Los Angeles. Blessed with a remarkably vivid memory and a keen ability to look inward, Joe paints a sensory landscape of a home that is no more, and in the process imparts the lessons of a life lived to its fullest.

Download The Wooden Village Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The second novel in the 'Rivers of Babylon' trilogy, translated from the Slovak, this outrageous black satire centres on a 'wooden village' of kiosks erected around a city hotel. It follows the post-communist rise of a mafia thug to be the leading 'businessman' of Bratislava, and of a perverted car-park attendant to the status of a porn-film scriptwriter, while others sink to pimping, robbing and baby-trafficking. Into this world, risking his life, comes a naive Slovak-American entrepreneur. 'Rivers of Babylon 1' was praised by William Boyd: "A tremendous novel, powered by an uncompromising ferocious energy and exhibiting a brutally dark sense of humour that is both ruthless and exhilarating. An amazing find.Ó The power is fully sustained in this novel.

Download The End of Freddy Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The third novel in the acclaimed Slovak trilogy 'Rivers of Babylon', 'End of Freddy' is a tour de force (translated partly from the Slovak and partly from the Czech) that expands the action from Bratislava to the Czech republic and to an imaginary Khanate in the Russian Arctic. The gangster Rácz now becomes a terrifying international figure, an oil oligarch, and the former car-park attendant Freddy Piggybank, half by chance, rises from being a porn-film king to the hero of an uprising by Slovak settlers in the Arctic. The same grotesque but convincing satirical picture of Bratislava expands into a fantastic, but believable tale of a war of liberation, and of Czech imperial ambitions, in the Arctic. Pišťanek's prodigious and often prophetic invention knows no bounds. Willian Boyd acclaimed the first 'Rivers of Babylon' novel as ÒA tremendous novel: powered by an uncompromising, ferocious energy and exhibiting a brutally dark sense of humour that is both ruthless and exhilarating. An amazing find.Ó This final novel adds new qualities of fantasy, insight and human warmth to Pišťanek's world.
