Product Description

Product Description

Set in May 1945 in a small Czech town. The Germans are withdrawing, the Red Army is advancing, and Danny Smiricky is being forced to grow up fast. Observing with contempt the antics of the town's senior citizens playing it safe, he adopts the role first of reluctant conscript then partisan.


From the Back Cover

"A important piece of history is marvellously recorded here...anyone who wants to know how it felt to be young, idealistic and innocent at the end of the war should read The Cowards". --The Times Literary Supplement

"A very funny and very sad story." --Graham Greene
