Closely Watched Trains tells the story of Miloš Hrma, a young railroad
apprentice coming of age in wartime Czechoslovakia. Miloš is
overwhelmed with worries – about his virginity, his love for the
conductor, and ongoing scandals in the stationmaster’s office – besides
which the idea of fighting the Germans seems a simple affair. Poignant,
humorous and the inspiration behind the 1966 Academy Award-winning
film, this is a small masterpiece from one of the best Czech writers of
the twentieth century.
Taking you from a Japanese tea ceremony to the mean streets of New
York, from ancient battlefields to haunted graveyards and all the way
into outer space, Penguin Archive brings together an eclectic range of
some of the greatest, most transporting stories, ideas and poetry from
ninety years of publishing.
