«The Little Town Where Time Stood Still» is the novel by Bohumil Hrabal, published by Abacus Books in paperback (320 pages, in English).
In a small Czech town dominated by a brewery, Maryska, the manager's wife, disrupts the routine with her unpredictable nature and long blonde hair. Alongside her, the eccentric Uncle Pepin brings exuberant humor. Between World War II and the arrival of communism, Hrabal portrays the end of an era with irony and tenderness.
The edition brings together two narratives: «The Little Town Where Time Stood Still» and «Cutting It Short»; the former was originally published in 1974.
For readers of literary and historical fiction interested in twentieth-century Central European narrative.
