Hrabal's postwar classic about a young man's coming of age in
German-occupied Czechoslovakia is among his most beloved and
accessible works. Closely Watched Trains is the subtle and poetic
portrait of Milos Hrma, a timid young railroad apprentice who
insulates himself with fantasy against a reality filled with
cruelty and grief. Day after day as he watches trains fly by, he
torments himself with the suspicion that he himself is being
watched and with fears of impotency. Hrma finally affirms his
manhood and, with a sense of peace and purpose he has never known
before, heroically confronts a trainload of Nazis.
