The novel Mirákl was published 1972 in Toronto and 1991 in Prague. It was the first Škvorecký book written in exile, like the immediate reaction to the events of 1949-1970, which the author, over several time levels, logically connects with the beginning of the communist era. We do not know when and under what circumstances the copy of this novel became a part of Mr. Šufliarsky´s collection.
