A classic of postwar literature, a small masterpiece of humour,
humanity and heroism from one of the best Czech writers For
twenty-two-year-old Milos, bumbling apprentice at a sleepy Czech
railway station, life is full of worries: his burdensome virginity,
his love for the pretty conductor Masha, the scandalous goings-on
in the station master's office. Beside them, the part he will come
to play against the occupying Germans seems a simple affair, in
Bohumil Hrabal's touching, absurd masterpiece of humour, humanity
and heroism. Closely Watched Trains, which became the award-winning
Jiri Menzel film of the 'Prague Spring', is a masterpiece that
fully justifies Hrabal's reputation as one of the best Czech
writers of the twentieth century.
