Rambling On
Author: Bohumil Hrabal
8,00 €
The woodland settlement of Kersko provides a setting for Hrabal’s distinctive narrators and small events with unexpected significance. The English collection Rambling On restores texts removed by censorship. It connects comedy with the more serious undertones of life in totalitarian Czechoslovakia.
In the supplied story, the flow of speech brings together professional duty, personal memory, and enchantment with the landscape. The book will appeal to short-story readers who appreciate the spoken rhythm of narration and the ambiguity of ordinary experience.
This English collection of Hrabal’s stories portrays Kersko and restores the texts in their uncensored form.

What is Rambling On about?
The collection follows the author’s original intention and includes stories written in the 1970s. Kersko serves as both their setting and a source of human situations.
The story excerpt uses long, connected sentences and a narrative voice in which the personal and the official intermingle. David Short’s translation preserves the play of meaning in speech for English-language readers.
