Heroism in a Tragicomic Key.......2007-06-01
American and English readers will, if they are of a certain age, remember the film adaptation of this novella in the mid-1960's. Perhaps they saw it at a student film festival or in a local "art-house" which specialized in showing foreign films (and it was a great era for films from France, Sweden, Mexico, Japan, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Italy, and Poland - I apologize if I have slighted the cinematic prominence of other nations in that heady time.) Hrabal wrote the screenplay for the film as well. This took place during the several years of liberalizing ferment within Czechoslovakia that culminated in the Prague Spring of 1968, a burst of optimism that was to be quickly squashed like an unwelcome insect.
So the novella is known through both its film version and several English-language editions which have been published intermittently during the past forty years. The story is one of youthful heroism blossoming in the local context of everyday activities, but also in the increasingly desperate overall political and military context of the last months of World War II, when it seemed that the Protectorate might be used by the Germans to throw up a suicidal, last-ditch defense against its converging enemies. With the exception of the narrator's recollection of meaningful events in his young life, the entire story takes place within the confines of a railway station where its major characters are employees of the state's railway service. (The station and its employees are a fictional re-creation of the train station at Kostomlaty - a small town near Nymburk, Hrabal's hometown -- where the author worked during the war. He reveals this and the genesis of two of the book's major scenes in "November Hurricane", one of nine autobiographical essays in the collection "Total Fears. Letters to Dubenka", published posthumously in an English translation in 1998.)
As well as a hero's tale the story is also a sexual comedy, with its farcical central episode of Dispatcher Hubicka's imprinting official railroad stamps on the charming buttocks of telegraphist Virginia Svata. This deed has hilarious implications and results - photographs of Virginia's decorated buttocks are circulating, and based on these there is a promise of a film career for the young woman. A ridiculous railroad administrative inquisition takes place in order to establish the legality of such an act. At the same time Stationmaster Lansky, who heartily disapproves of the behavior of his underlings, is being petitioned by the local aristocracy to introduce Hubicka to them socially - he is a man after their own hearts. (A minor point: While her last name is "Saint", J. Skvorecky points out in his Introduction that Virginia is not an apt translation of her first name, Zdenicka. He may have missed a tricky bilingual etymological boat here, since the prototype of Zdenicka is probably Saint Denise, celebrated for the staunch defense of her own virginity; so the translator caught this irony with the suggestive English "Virginia". On the other hand I may be deluding myself on this point, but Skvorecky does mention the symbolic nature of several characters' Czech names - none of which, by the way, come across in any English translation!)
It's just the kind of bold and whimsical act that makes the narrator and hero-to-be, Assistant Dispatcher Milos Hrma, admire Hubicka all the more (and, by comparison, lose confidence in himself, for Milos has had a little problem with premature ejaculation, preventing the fulfillment of his love for fellow employee Masha; it's made him uncomfortable with himself to the point of attempting suicide). Events conspire to lead Milos into his heroic act (blowing up a German munitions train headed to the eastern front). His participation in this exploit comes almost as an afterthought to his successful sexual escapade with an older woman who arrives at the station on a Resistance mission, delivering the bomb to be used to Hubicka. In fact, Milos' tryst with Victoria Freie gives him the confidence to imagine that he can undertake great things. He does and, as a consequence, he dies.
Some readers will probably react to the book's ending with reserve or skepticism, finding it too heroic in the sentimental mold - as the fire-bombed Dresden boils up into the western night sky and the munitions train explodes a few miles to the east Milos lies dying in the snow, fatally wounded by a German train guard whom he has shot (and Milos finds a common bond of humanity with his victim even as he "mercy-kills" him). In spite of this rather cinematic ending, Hrabal closes the book with one of his typical coarse, comical observations that is very deflating: "Sie sollen am Arsche zu Hause setzen.", quoting the train engineer who has just dropped off a bedraggled collection of Dresden residents who escaped incineration.
If you are such a skeptical reader made unhappy by the book's ending, you can reappraise its effect by now going back and reading the Introduction written by Hrabal's fellow Czech novelist, Josef Skvorecky (don't read the Introduction first). He not only discusses the uneasiness of readers over the book's finale, he explains just how it came about as a somewhat forced rewriting - forced by the political circumstances of the time -- of an earlier version of the story, a much grimmer and more brutal version known as "The Legend of Cain", written in the late 1940's and never published. That story not only tweaked the "hero-requirements" of the Communist bureaucracy's conventions of "socialist realism" in fiction, it also assailed some of the pieties of Czech nationalism. In other words it was a double-barreled shot bound to backfire on Hrabal. Reading this Introduction is indispensable to a fuller understanding of "Closely Watched Trains", and it explains the particularities of the practice of "cultural politics" and literary criticism within an aspiring totalitarian state (in the interest of fairness to what he feels is a work whose literary merits are undervalued, Skvorecky is just as hard on some of the dissidents who dismissed this novel as he is on the government which allowed it to be published then banned it).
The language is typically Hrabalian, i.e., fluent, colloquial, floating high ideals on low imagery, and inclined on occasion toward the rhapsodic (the rhapsody of the adolescent self discovering itself in a difficult situation). The translation by Edith Pargeter captures these qualities. The Northwestern University Press editions that started in the 1980s have the Skvorecky Introduction, as does an earlier publication of the novella by the Viking Penguin Press.
Hrabal's timeless masterpiece.......2006-10-05
Hrabal's short novella "Closely watched trains" is a delight. In English translation it has just about 90 pages, yet in these 90 pages a story is told, which could be extended to an Oscar-winning movie and is an absolute masterpiece.
Milos Hrma, the main protagonist and narrator, is a railway apprentice during World War II in the German-occupied Czechoslovakia. He is in love with Masha, the ticket controller and his whole life is centered at the provincial railway station with the supervisor Lansky, whose passion are pigeons and ambition - to became accepted into aristocracy, and the promiscuous dispatcher Hubicka, Milos' teacher and role model.
The book starts with some family history and moves back and forth in time, as Milos recalls the events that led to his suicide attempt (from which he just recovered). As the story develops, we get to know the solution to his problem. We get from the light to the serious matters and back in the matter of a few pages. The prose is condensed and rich, evoking powerful imagery with few words.
The character of Milos is as complicated and full of contrasts as only the youth can be - he is innocent, insecure, romantic, silly, but incredibly brave at the same time.
The bittersweet Czech humor is here at its greatest, as well as the typical melancholy, which together with Hrabal's mastery of the language and his great observations and criticism of the national character, war circumstances from the perspective of the remote town, and the emotional turmoil of the protagonist, give the amazing mix, which will never get outdated and always be a pleasure to read - in other words, a perennial classic.
The Human Tragi-Comedy.......2004-09-09
Hrabal's short novella "Closely Observed Trains" (the title under which it is published in Britain)is set in a railway station in a small town in Czechoslovakia in the winter of 1945. Although the war is coming to an end, the country is still under German occupation, and the book's title refers to the special military trains which need to be kept under close guard as they travel to the front.
The central character, Milos Hrma, is a young apprentice traffic controller, and the opening scenes of the book tend towards the comic, as Milos describes the attempts of his colleagues to get on with their everyday lives, seemingly oblivious to the historic events taking place around them. Milos's boss, Station-Master Lansky, is a ridiculous figure, obsessed with promoting himself both in the social hierarchy (he lays claim to aristocratic lineage) and in the hierarchy of the Czech railway system. Despite his eagerness for promotion, however, he pays more attention to his hobby of pigeon breeding than he does to the requirements of his job. Lansky's subordinate, Dispatcher Hubicka, is equally neglectful of his duties, although his main obsession is pursuing women; he is facing disciplinary proceedings for the offence of misusing Government property by using the station's official stamps to decorate the backside of an attractive young female telegraphist.
As the story progresses, it takes on a darker tone. We learn that Milos has recently returned to work after three months in hospital following an unsuccessful attempt at suicide. The cause of this attempt was depression brought on by impotence and his inability to consummate his relationship with his girlfriend. The latter part of the book has two themes- his continuing obsession with losing his virginity and the plot he forms with Hubicka to help the Czech Resistance by destroying one of the Germans' special trains.
The expression "tragi-comedy" is perhaps over-used in literary criticism, being all too often a category to enable the lazy critic to pigeonhole works that resist neat pigeonholing- certain of Shakespeare's plays, for example. It seems to me, however, that the adjective "tragi-comic" is indeed an appropriate one to use about "Closely Observed Trains" because of the contrast between the tragic situation of the Czech people under the German occupation and the many comic incidents that take place, such as Hubicka's adventures with the telegraphist, or Lansky's habit of shouting his criticism of the morals of society down the ventilation shaft in the station kitchen. The same incident, indeed, may have both comic and serious overtones, as when Lansky, in protest against the German invasion of Poland, kills his German pigeons and replaces them with Polish ones- an act both cruel and ridiculous. The book is full of gruesome but absurd details, such as the three dead horses thrown from a train and left by the railway lines. This is a book of less than a hundred pages, but Hrabal is able to fill that space with a fantastic amount of detail, both trivial and serious.
The central theme of the book is the various strategies people use to survive in the tragic circumstances of war and occupation- courageous acts of resistance, petty acts of defiance (such as using the metal from a downed German plane to roof rabbit-hutches and chicken-coops) and continuing to pursue the trivia of existence. Sometimes they use a mixture of all three. One can easily see why the Communist authorities disliked Hrabal's work; they had no objection to tales of heroic deeds in the fight against fascism, but these had to be viewed through the simplistic ideology of Marxism-Leninsm and placed in the context of the class struggle. Hrabal's world was more complex and less ideological. There is a place for courage in that world, but also a place for compromise and for the apolitical details of everyday life. Seen in this context, Milos's bravery seems both more impressive and the book's ending more poignant. This is a fine piece of writing and, given that it was written under Communist rule, a brave one.
A Beautiful Story Beautifully Told.......2004-05-25
Bohumil Hrabal's Closely Watched Train is a beautiful book whose lingering impact on the reader is greater than one would suspect from looking at its length - 85 pages. It is the story of a young man, Milos Hrma, an apprentice signalman in a Czech village railway station during WWII. The term closely "watched trains" refers to German military (soliers, prisoners, and munitions) trains that must be watched, tracked closely to ensure a smooth passage. Failure results in close (and often deadly) scrutiny by the Gestapo. As the story it unfolds that young Milos had recently attempted suicide after his first sexual experience ends disastrously. The scars on his wrist reflect the internal scars and humiliation suffered as a result of his sexual failure. The rest of the book focuses on his desire to achieve manhood, by means of a succesful sexual conquest or through some "other" means. Milos' quest is ultimately succesful yet with tragic consequences. An act of simple heroism marks the story's climax. Along the way Milos has a near fatal encounter with a Gestapo officer after an incident involving a closely watched train. The understated description of this encounter is a brilliant piece of writing as the officer and Milos closely watch each other's scars before the officer decides to spare his life. The above summary does not do justice to the concise, sparse tone of Hrabal's prose that conveys great depths of meaning in the course of the story's simple narrative.
This is a beautiful story, beautifully told. I also recommend the movie (available on Amazon)after reading the book. It won an Oscar for Best Foreign Film in 1966. The screenplay was written by Hrabal and altough not totally faithful to the book's narrative it is well acted and serves as a nice complement to the book.
I strongly recommend this book.
Heroism of common people.......2001-05-09
This is a tale about heroism of ordinary people, not about epic feats. You won't find here but common people, and that's what makes the tale so touching and realistic. The book is beautiful and is beautifully written, with a sober yet elegant and poetic style. The trains are an essential part of all the characters'lives in their jobs and their personal memories, and are related to the fight of Czechs partisans at the end of the II World War, which is the time the novel is placed. The novel is both dramatic and comic, and Hrabal's sense of humour is one of his most remarkable features, following the best tradition of Czech's Literature, particularly Jaroslav Hasek. The mixture of drama and comedy, as well as the human touch and tenderness which envelops the characters makes this novel very moving to every reader. This work is a little and brilliant jewel, definitely worth the trouble reading.

Book Description
A work on contemporary Czechoslovak cinematography focusing on the celebrated director Jíri Menzel's classic film Closely Watched Train in the context of communist Czechoslovak mores and restrictions.
Book Description
• Reveals how the sexual practices of the White Tigress can preserve and restore a woman's physical youthfulness and mental energy.
• The first modern guide to White Tigress techniques, the only sexual teachings exclusively for women.
• Reveals for the first time in English the hidden teachings of immortaless Hsi Wang Mu, a White Tigress from 3,000 years ago.
• Provides Western medical correlations to substantiate White Tigress practices.
White Tigress women undertake disciplined sexual and spiritual practices to maintain their beauty and youthfulness, realize their full feminine potential, and achieve immortality. Revealed here for the first time in English are the secrets of the White Tigress that have all but disappeared from the world. Under the guidance of Madame Lin, the matriarch of a distinguished White Tigress lineage still in existence in Taiwan, Hsi Lai was given the privilege to study these practices and record them from a modern perspective so they will be forever preserved.
The vast majority of Taoist texts on alchemy, meditation, and sexuality are directed at male practitioners. The Sexual Teachings of the White Tigress presents traditions that focus on women, traditions that stem from a long line of courtesans and female Taoists. Translations of the ancient teachings from a rare White Tigress manual dating back 3,000 years explain the sexual and spiritual refinement of ching (sexual energy), chi (vital energy), and shen (consciousness)--the Three Treasures of Taoism--the secret to unlocking eternal youthfulness and immortality.

Dare to Open Your Horizons.......2007-07-09
Life and sex are complicated. We tend to put labels on things and people so we don't have to think or question.
Understanding the many dimensions of the White Tigress is not for those who already have preconceived ideas about women and their sexuality. However, if you are open to expanding your world and becoming more through taoist teachings, you will be engrossed and amazed at the teachings of the White Tigress. Hsi Lai helps us to enter her world and offers us the opportunity to also achieve immortality, joy, sexual pleasure and youth.
The secret to the fountain of youth will ALWAYS be our capacity to go into the unknown, be curious, and open to new ideas.
The Sexual Teachings of the White Tigress: Secrets of the.......2006-11-03
I thought this book was rubbish, and I did not finish reading it.
Sexuality for spirituality.......2006-01-07
The White Tigress practice is the woman's side of men's Jade Dragon: similar in ways, complementary in others. This book (written by a man) describes the early stages of White Tigress training. The goal of that training is to heighten a woman's sexual awareness and power, partly for health and long life, but also to direct that power towards enlightenment.
Because of the secrecy of the teachings, Hsi describes only the first third of White Tigress training. That includes yogic exercises and self-massage, but centers heavily on fellation as a way to focus attention and to collect the male energy for the woman's betterment. Unlike other authors, Hsi generally identifies this as harmless or beneficial to the male partner, when done properly. Hsi discusses how older texts could have created incorrect impressions. Sometimes, though, he presents interpretations that echo feminist rewritings of Western history and tradition. This alternative view interests me, but its differences from more widely held interpretations interfere with easy acceptance.
White Tigress practice is based on the theories of traditional Chinese medicine. Hsi aligns many of these beliefs with Western scientific knowledge. As I've found elsewhere, the spiritual beliefs of scientists generally show better understanding than the scientific beliefs of mystics. This applies especially to Hsi's claims about the relative immunity of White Tigresses to STDs - I encourage any serious reader to treat Hsi's discussion with caution.
Although sexually oriented and often dependent on male partners, this is not about relationships other than ones that further her development. White Tigress teaching is based wholly on its benefit to the woman who practices it. It's not a predatory practice, though. Strengthening her "Jade Dragon" strengthens her, and Hsi makes clear that gentleness and joy are basic rules as well as outcomes.
That is the real goal of White Tigress teaching: joy. The Tigress is happy in herself. The practice is said to strengthen her body so that she remains happy long after others start to suffer from the failures of age. Once her training is complete, the Tigress is free to join the world, not just as Tigress teacher, but as mother, professional, or whatever she wants, bringing her joy with her. I value the happiness of the women in my life - it must be a wonderful honor to meet a Tigress who has so much happiness in her.

4 stars for "historical" - 0 stars for "teachings".......2005-08-14
This book SHOULD be called "The Untold Story of the White Tigress."
If this group actually exists, this book is an interesting tale of their life and their beliefs.
As far as teachings...if you would like to know how to stretch or rejuvenate (take care of) your body like a tigress--you have 40 pages. Sexual teachings are very few and are at the last 30 pages of the 260 page book.
I assume the publisher added the "Sexual Teachings of" part of the title in order to sell more books. If the title was the author's description of this book, I would argue the rest of his works must be as blatantly misrepresented as this one.
Insightful.......2005-07-28
I tought this book was very well written. When I first found out about this belief I looked for books on it and this one answered alot of questions for me. I found it very interesting and insightful.

This is not a hand book...........2006-11-10
I learned about this book from a lady friend... she read me some parts in the book ... and I thought it was a "manual"... it is not. It may be well-written fiction, but I don't prefer to read fiction very often... at least not this kind... I'm not patient, nor do I like "drama" that is not related to real life... It could just be me. This might be a great book. I'd rather see an outline of the historical facts presented in this book. Do you have one?? Please send it and save me some time.
Not worth the paper its printed on..........2006-05-04
I made the mistake of reading this book and I was so irritated with it I had to throw it away. I would be embarrassed to have this on my bookshelf. The characters were one-dimensional, the plot was overly simplistic, and the relationship between Lydia and Lu Shan just plain wierd. Don't waste your time.
Borrrring !!!! How does this get good reviews........2006-04-24
I read Jade Lee's cotribution to the Crimson City books "Seduced By Crimson" and found it to be an enjoyable read so I decided to have a look at her other books starting with this one.
What a turn around this book is horrible on so many levels, the characters especially the male lead are not likeble and the premise has no real spark.
I am very supprised by the good reviews and I can tell you I will not be picking up any more in this "Tigress" series and I doubt I will be reading very much more of Mz Lee's offerings if this is all she has got.
Give me Stephanie Laurens or Christine Feehan any day of the week.
Delicious Read.......2005-03-16
The combination of a Chinese setting and the late Victorian time period made White Tigress a must read for me, and surprisingly, the book more than lived up to my expectations. Firstly, I really, really loved how author Lee did not have the heroine, Lydia, see the hero, Ru Chan, as "he was chinese, with slanted eyes and yellow skin." I tend to stay away from interracial romances because most of the time, the authors feel the need to constantly remind the reader that one of the characters isn't white. So Lee recieved an automatic thumbs up from me. Regarding the rest of the story, it was luscious, very sensual and the relationship between the protagonists was very realistic. I enjoyed the elements of Shanghai, as well as the religious and cultural differences between Lydia and Ru Chan that weren't used as a chance for the author to step atop a soap box. If you are looking for an erotic, rich read that isn't your run of the mill historical romance between two mature adults, White Tigress is for you.
Sensual multi-cultural romance.......2005-02-28
Five stars for Jade Lee's White Tigress.
Lydia Smith, an English woman travels to China in search of her finance, Maxwell. Unfortunately, she ends up in a Chinese brothal. Cheng Ru Shan searches for his own immortality. In order to reach his goal, Ru Shan purchases Lydia from a brothal for her yin waters.
As Lydia becomes sensually aware of her body and longs for Ru Shan to continue his daily exercises with her, she waits for an opportunity to escape her captor. When the day comes, she flees and finds her fiance only to be betrayed by him.
You'll have to read White Tigress to find out how Lydia and Ru Shan find one another and have a happy ever after. This is a wonderful heartwarming multicultural romance. A must read!

Product Description
The modern perspective on sexuality is almost exclusively focused on procreational and recreational sex. Little attention has been given to the ancient Asian perspectives on the more profound restorative and transformative benefits of sexuality. This challenging material will definitely bring about a rethinking of sexual purpose and conduct.White Tigress refers to a female who follows the natural workings and forces of her sexuality to achieve beauty, youthfulness, longevity, and immortality. Her sexual practices all derive from teachings passed down through various consorts and female Taoist nuns and immortalesses.Green Dragon refers to the male surrogate sexual partners of a White Tigress, who provide her with heightened sexual energy and passion. A Green Dragon can also be a co-cultivator in a Tigresss practice, helping her engage in the deeper transformational practices so that they both can achieve restoration and illumination of body and spirit.The White Tigress, Green Dragon sexual-spiritual practices and philosophy revitalize sexual passion and compassion, demonstrating that there is much to learn about sexual energy and how it can greatly benefit the body and mind.

Sexual Practices of Taoist Teachers Revealed.......2007-06-26
The book is worth every penny you spend on it. It reveals how women can restore their energy, youth and gain illumination through sexual practices. This book is not for the narrow minded. You will begin to understand what it takes and means to practice a purer form of Tantric sex. The information is based on Chinese medicine and Taoist teachings. My wife who is a 15-year teacher of Qi Gong and practitioner of Zen Buddhism said the information is grounded in truth. The book is fairly easy to understand and use. It should be read in conjunction with "The Sexual Teachings of the White Tigress" and the "Sexual Teachings of the Jade Dragon". "The White Tigress Green Dragon" book has the most concise information in it.
