Návod k použití železnice - CDmp3 (Čte Jaroslav Rudiš)

A uniquely poetic guide for all railway enthusiasts... ***** It was a close call, and Czech and German literature could have been one talented writer poorer. Jaroslav Rudiš has always been drawn to the railway, but due to a vision impairment, he was ultimately not accepted into the 'blue army' – unlike his grandfather, a switchman, his cousin, a train driver, or his uncle, who served as a dispatcher and later as a station master. However, unlike locomotives, old love does not rust, and thus tracks, trains, and stations have become leitmotifs of his literary works, including the film adaptation of the comic Alois Nebel and the award-winning novel Winterberg's Last Journey. And since the author's fascination with the railway goes hand in hand with a vast amount of knowledge and kilometers traveled across Europe, it was only a matter of time before Rudiš came up with his own unique guide to its use. A colorful narrative about journeys and encounters in the carriages of international express trains and breathless local trains takes place in Italy, Scandinavia, the Balkans... Yet, there are also numerous domestic episodes encouraging Czech listeners to experience their own railway adventures. ***** An extraordinary autobiography, a love letter addressed to the railway, and also a guide to Europe...
