«Jo he servit el rei d'Anglaterra» is the novel by Bohumil Hrabal, published by Destino in hardcover (264 pages, in Catalan).
An apprentice waiter who aspires to success travels through 20th-century Czechoslovakia, from the First Republic to the communist era. With Rabelaisian humor and a picaresque gaze, the novel shows everyday absurdity, war and the loss of identity, and offers an indirect portrait of Bohemia and a reflection on the human condition.
