Our very best writer today' - Milan Kundera
Ditie is a pint-sized hotel waiter with big dreams.
Between pocketing stolen change from unsuspecting customers and reminiscing on nights spent at the local brothel, he fantasises about his immense - and imagined - riches.
Then, ludicrously, Ditie's dreams start to become reality.
Yet while his chaotic adventures lead him to ever more glamorous hotels, beyond the sparkling dining halls, the forces of twentieth-century European history march on.
A whirlwind of comic genius, a gut-punch of narrative power, this is the story of one small man's rise and fall - or fall and rise - against the shadowy backdrop of Europe's darkest days.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ADAM THIRLWELL
'An extraordinary and subtly tragicomic novel' - New York Times
'Hrabal bounces and floats... with a gusting humour and a hushed tenderness of detail' - Julian Barnes
'A joyful, picaresque story, which begins with Baron Munchausen-like adventures and ends in tears and solitude.' - James Wood
