České dějiny - 100 památných míst – Kvirenc Jan (2018)

100 years since the founding of Czechoslovakia: 100 memorial sites of Czech history. The modern history of the Czechs is unimaginable without a connection to earlier periods – and this is precisely what our historical guide addresses. We present a whole hundred "places of memory" linked to the grand history of the lands of the Czech Crown. We will take you into princely, royal, and noble chambers, but also into villages and towns, into the chaos of battle, courtrooms, and the studies of scholars and designers. We will peek behind the scenes of high politics, diplomacy, and crime, and lift the veil on the creation of works of art. Our historical memory also includes mythical and legendary events; famous foreign visitors will make an appearance. All one hundred stories will also be illustrated with authentic period texts – you will become direct participants in historical research. Nothing essential from the key points of both older and newer history of our lands is missing. At the beginning of the journey stands Mount Říp, the forefather Czech, and the first Slavs. And at the end, the famous tradition of the Blaník knights will connect with the democratic legacy of the First Czechoslovak Republic. You can read selectively, encyclopedically, or continuously, at home or on the go. After all, it is always true that "wherever we enter, we walk in the footsteps of history."
