“I Served the King of England” are memoirs of a greedy and lascivious waiter, growing up right before the reader’s eyes. This is a life story of a Central Europe dweller, happened to be “lucky enough” to hit upon 30s-40s XX century. The historical development of the action itself is well enough not to invent something extraordinary in the novel; what remains for the writer is just to capture the details of the protagonist’s personal route within the highway that is one for all. The refrain of the book is “the incredible becomes real”. With time, the caterpillar turns into a butterfly and the lascivious lad — into St. Francis.

The novel has been translated in every cultural capital of the world.
