“A visionary book.” Marie Claire, Italia

“Simply put – Oneiron is a very, very special book.” ***** .týždeň magazine, Slovakia

“The multi-layered story of Oneiron is very complicated, it hides philosophically broader dimensions, but surprisingly it is extremely readable.” **** Vlčí Boudy website, Czech Republic

The English version of the novel, published by Oneworld, will be hitting the stores on April 5th and sporting a different cover than most of the foreign – and the original – editions. Also the French publisher, Gallimard, will be using a cover of their own design: their publication date is the 12th of April.
