Description

90 Classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books

Closely Watched Trains tells the story of Milo? Hrma, a young railroad apprentice coming of age in wartime Czechoslovakia. Milo? 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.
