Krátky popis
Enter the gas-lit streets of post-war Prague, the steelworks run by
singed men, the covered market that smells of new-born babes, the
cacophonous open-air dance hall. Mr Kafka is avoiding his
landlady’s blueberry wine breath, a stonemason witnesses the
destruction of a monument to Stalin he risked his life to build,
and factory men strain to catch a glimpse of a beautiful bathing
murderess. In these newly discovered stories, Hrabal captures men
and women in an eerily beautiful nightmare and their spirit in all
its misery and splendour. Bohumil Hrabal was born in 1914 in
Brno-Zidenice, Moravia. He received a degree in Law from Prague's
Charles University, and lived in Prague since the late 1940s. In
the 1950s he worked as a manual laborer in the Kladno ironworks,
from which he drew inspiration for his 'hyper-realist' texts he was
writing at that time. He won international acclaim for such books
as I Served the King of England and Too Loud a Solitude. Hrabal is
considered, along with Jaroslav Hasek and Karel Capek, as one of
the greatest Czech writers of the 20th century, and perhaps the
most important in the post-war period. In February 1997 he flew out
of his hospital window never to return.
