The Little Town Where Time Stood Still

Set in small-town Bohemia between the wars, the two narratives of The Little Town Where Time Stood Still are delightful and witty evocations of the passing of an age, and its effects upon a close-knit community.

From the flamboyant and unpredictable Maryska, who scandalises the town when she cuts short her golden tresses, to the eccentric Uncle Pepin, who alway has to have a ready supply of furniture to smash whe he´s angry, Bohumil Hrabal creates a range of enchanting and memorable characters - confirming his status as one of Europe´s gratest writers.
