Quotes I enjoyed (spoilers in quotes): "All the same, Germans are fools. Dangerous fools. I'd been a bit of a fool myself, too, but to my own hurt, while with the Germans it was always to the hurt of someone else". "He was a man, too, like me, or like Mr Hubicka, like us he hadn't had any distinction or rank, and yet we had shot each other and brought each other to death, although surely if we could have met somewhere in civil life we might well have liked each other, and found a lot to talk about."bill369's review against another edition

I read this book for the maturita exam.
The characters are intriguing. Especially the main character. I find them to be rather complex yet not loveable or hateable. I believe it's because of the fact of how little I know about the characters.
The ordinary life of a person working at the train station during the second world war. How does the war affect him?
I don't want to share any lines.
I like how the book ended.
I'm pleasantly surprised. I thought this book was the same as Postřižiny. I'm glad I read it only because of the maturita exam.
