Hlava 21 – Rollko Natalie A. (2025)

Sometimes it just takes subtracting one number and everything is completely different. When Heller's novel Catch-22 conquered the world, its title became established in people's minds as a designation for situations of loss, where a person has choices, but none of their decisions lead to success. Catch-21 has a completely different dimension. It is about the connection of a free spirit with immense intelligence, the ability to unify, and the will to act. It is about the number of the universe, prosperity, and success, which earned a gifted mathematics student his first million and propelled him towards billions. The magic of the number 21 influenced Karel Janeček's life so much that in 2016 he declared it the number of our universe. The twenty-one has become his signature. He incorporates it into everything he does. Catch-21 most accurately reflects the image of Karel Janeček, whom you have the opportunity to get to know as a person. An unconventional and unmistakable personality who will no longer bet his life on pure randomness. He takes care of his mind and body with kalokagathia. He constantly pushes his boundaries. He openly expresses opinions. He fights against unfreedom, injustice, and corruption. And in many ways, he has outpaced his time. His mind never sleeps. That’s why today he says: 'It all starts with twenty-one...'
