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.

4 (Muito bom)

Se o livro que rendeu meu filme favorito também não se tornasse uma de minhas leituras mais queridas eu ficaria levemente desapontado mas sim, ambos são igualmente fantásticos. Um texto tímido e afetuoso como seu protagonista, uma imaginação muito rara de se encontrar em tramas de guerra, Miloš Hrma tem um dos finais mais tristes e potentes que eu já li, talvez o mais triste, na verdade. Foda.
