Hrabal Bohumil Closely Observed Trains
For gauche young apprentice Milos Hrma, life at the small but strategic railway station in Bohemia in 1945 is full of complex preoccupations. There is the exacting business of dispatching German troop trains to and from the toppling Eastern front; the problem of ridding himself of his burdensome innocence; and the awesome scandal of Dispatcher Hubicka's gross misuse of the station's official stamps upon the telegraphist's anatomy. Beside these, Milos's part in the plan for the ammunition train seems a simple affair. Closely Observed Trains, which became the award-winning Jiri Menzel film of the 'Prague Spring', is a classic of postwar literature, a small masterpiece of humour, humanity and heroism which fully justifies Hrabal's reputation as one of the best Czech writers of today.

Hrabal Bohumil Closely Watched Trains
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.

Hrabal Bohumil All My Cats
In the autumn of 1965, Bohumil Hrabal bought a weekend cottage in the countryside east of Prague. There, until his death, he tended to an ever-growing, unruly community of cats. This is his confessional, tender and shocking meditation on the joys and torments of his life with them; how he became increasingly overwhelmed by the demands of the things he loved, even to the brink of madness.

Hrabal Bohumil Cutting It Short
'As I crammed the cream horn voraciously into my mouth, at once I heard Francin's voice saying that no decent woman would eat a cream puff like that' In a quiet town where not much happens, Maryska, the flamboyant brewer's wife, stands out. She cuts her skirt short so that she can ride her bicycle, her golden hair flying out behind her. She butchers pigs. She drinks and eats with relish. And when the garrulous ranconteur Uncle Pepin comes to visit the locals are scandalized even further, in Bohumil Hrabal's affecting, exuberant portrayal of a small central European community between the wars.

Hrabal Bohumil Mr Kafka and Other Tales
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.

GLORIOUS DIN - Closely Watched Trains (LP) - виниловая пластинка S (новая, в заводской пленке)
абсолютно новая пластинка, не вскрытая, в заводской пленке, рекомендуется для коллекционирования, прослушивания!Многогранная природа Closely Watched Trains, охватывающая все: от трехаккордного трэш-панка до поп-музыки гаражных групп, экспериментального арт-рока и атонального нойза, созданных группами с одинаковым составом, может показаться непосвященным сбивающим с толку. Из многих коллективов, требовавших внимания, Glorious Din были, пожалуй, лучшими, их завораживающее звучание мгновенно проникало в душу благодаря нестандартным барабанным рисункам, восточно-звучащим гитарным мелодиям, мелодичному басу в поул-позиции и диссоциативному иностранному певцу, который в трансе произносил пророческие стихи. Загадочная группа также выступила в качестве катализатора, помогая совершенно неизвестным людям добиться признания и являясь необычным связующим звеном, связывающим Faith No More , Dead Kennedys и Michael Franti , а также REM и Cocteau Twins , такова широта их влияния. Виниловая пластинка поставляется не только в родной упаковке, дополнена внешним пакетом для бережного хранения, упакована в воздушную пленку в картонной коробке с подарочной ленточкой.
