The Choice

A Czech bestseller that can change both your life and society as a whole. Read this story with its thrilling finale!



‘’I dream of a world in flames: nuclear bombs falling on cities, consuming them like cancer; surviving in underground shelters, where we slowly turn into animals. These dreams are so lifelike. I’m afraid that one day I’m going to want to wake up, only to find it’s too late.’’



Tomáš is a young man in the prime of life. Though he appears to lack nothing, he is becoming increasingly depressed. At work things are going from bad to worse, and he gives up his vain efforts to revive his relationship with Eliška, his wife. As if that weren’t enough he is haunted by post-apocalyptical dreams of despair. His depressive state does not lift until he gets to know the eccentric therapist Kohl, who shows him how to be a better, happier person, but that is just the start of Tomáš’s story, which ends in a thrilling finale.



The Choice is the literary debut of young Czech author Jakub Trpiš, bringing together elements from spiritual literature, science fiction, crime stories, psychological thrillers and romances. The plot offers a strong message that can change the lives of individuals and indeed society as a whole.



Since January 2018 The Choice has constantly been among the 100 best-selling books in the Czech Republic. In 2018 over 15,000 copies were sold. The novel has been rendered into English by experienced translator Melvyn Clarke.



What readers have said about the Choice:



“All you need to know about a happy, fulfilling life is inside this book. The book is so simple, yet so complex, but above all, everyone will understand it. The author has put a piece of his soul into The Choice – which is why an odd, heart-warming feeling will last long after you have finished the book. We can be so much more than we realize…” Paula.



About the author:



Jakub differs from other authors, and so do his books. When writing, he changes positions, jumps genres and revisits different views of the world. ‘’The Choice changed my life,” he says. “I truly believe that it can help people all around the world. Don’t let your failures stop you. Try to learn and grow from these failures. We all deserve to be happy, but the most important thing is to truly decide on this. I wrote The Choice to help people with this important decision.’’
