''One of the greatest European prose writers'' Philip Roth

In the autumn of 1965, Bohumil Hrabal bought a weekend cottage in the countryside east of Prague. There, until his death, he tended to an ever-growing, unruly community of cats. This is his confessional, tender and shocking meditation on the joys and torments of his life with them; how he became increasingly overwhelmed by the demands of the things he loved, even to the brink of madness.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Bohumil Hrabal

Bohumil Hrabal nasceu em Brno, em 1914, ainda sob o Império Austro-Húngaro. Começou por escrever poesia, mas o livro que o tornou famoso foi o romance "Comboios Rigorosamente Vigiados". A fama alcançada não impediu que viesse a ter várias obras proibidas pelo regime comunista da Checoslováquia. Considerado um dos grandes estilistas da literatura europeia da segunda metade do século XX, Bohumil Hrabal morreu em 1997, em condições trágicas, ao cair de uma janela do quinto andar do hospital onde estava internado. Terá caído acidentalmente ao tentar alimentar pombos do lado de fora.
