«Yo que he servido al rey de Inglaterra» is the novel by Bohumil Hrabal, published by Destino in paperback (290 pages, in Spanish).
Ditie, a Czech waiter with a desire to rise, manages to become a millionaire and ends up losing everything. His story intersects with that of Prague from the German occupation to the triumph of communism, and Bohumil Hrabal tells it with a festive and bittersweet tone that turns personal ambition and the swings of history into a single narrative substance.
This Spanish edition was published in 1996; the translation from Czech is by Jitka Mlejnková and Alberto Ortiz, and the original title is 'Obsluhoval jsem anglického krále'.
For readers interested in twentieth-century Czech fiction and in works where humour blends with major historical events.
Bohumil Hrabal was a Czech writer, often named among the best Czech writers of the 20th century.
