Description

Cloth-backed Boards. First US Edition. 8vo. Two linked narratives tell the story of a small Czech town in which people moved through their lives much as they always had. One woman, Maryska, with a wild tempestuous nature, shakes things up much to the disapproval of the town's folk. At the end of World War II, Communism begins to take hold and everyone is now surpressed. An excellent work by this brilliant writer, author of "Closely Watched Trains" which was the basis for an Oscar-winning film. OUT OF PRINT.
