Rates Of Exchange & Why Come To Slaka?

Welcome to Slaka! A land of lakes and forests, beetroots and tractors, cultural riches and bloody battlefields. Malcolm Bradbury's hilariously entertaining and witty novel, Rates Of Exchange, introduces the small, Eastern European country of Slaka. In less than two weeks there, first-time visitor Dr. Petworth manages to give a controversial lecture, get embroiled in sexual and domestic intrigues, fall in love, and still find time to see the main tourist attractions. In the wickedly funny satire Why Come To Slaka? Malcolm Bradbury offers a wealth of information about the Slakan state, its pageantry and politics, its people and public figures, as well as some essential Slakan tips.
