Let the hare run
Kabbalah, Žižkov, 1911. Something is brewing.
Max Kanarfogel receives a letter. A friend asks him to come to Vienna, needing to speak with him urgently. Something ominous is approaching, and it is set to happen in Prague. If it does, the consequences will be catastrophic.
Can two amateur kabbalists prevent something they know so little about? And how does the sinister growling scaring the Žižkov youth tie into everything? Is it mere hysteria, an illusion, or is there genuine cause for concern? For now, nothing is happening...
Reviews:
The author draws readers into the colourful world of old Prague, where growing unease builds behind seemingly idyllic backdrops, heralding a new, darker era.

I carry novel ideas in my head for a long time. Only time tells if a particular one is worth dedicating a few years of my life to – if it is enough of an obsession. I know exactly when and where the theme of the Hare first came to me. It was in the spring of 1991, in Žižkov, on my way to the pub. The pub still exists, though it has changed a lot. It is much the same with my idea.
