Product Description

A romp through the life of a young man born into a Bohemian peasant family, told in five parts. It begins with "a word to the wise", followed by the text proper, and is then followed by notes.

Ingram

Set in the First Czechoslovak Republic, A BOHEMIAN YOUTH is at once a wrenching and hilarious tale of its hero's emotional and sexual awakening and a social history of the first rank. It abounds in intimate detail not found in history books--the manners of a Slovak servant girl, the mores of the town's homosexual, the sounds of popular music, the way people eat in wartime. Playful sophistication with a central European flavor .
