Cestovatel na perutích času Vojtěch Zamarovský – Toufar Pavel (2004)

For Czech and Slovak readers – and later for readers in many other countries – he discovered the Hittites and Sumerians, as well as Schliemann, Ivan the Terrible, and other great personalities. With an informed yet captivating language, he was always able to tell us remarkable stories from the distant past of humanity, taking us by the hand and guiding us on a journey through the abyss of time. Such is Vojtěch Zamarovský, one of the leading world authors of non-fiction literature and an outstanding expert on antiquity. Not only about him, but primarily about his books, Pavel Toufar narrates, selecting the most interesting passages and entire chapters, adding his own notes as well as those of other authors, and above all – teaching new readers to read Vojtěch Zamarovský again. Join us on an adventurous expedition against the relentless flow of time into the distant depths of human history, where gigantic Egyptian pyramids intertwine with other lost gems of ancient architectural art, breathtaking paintings depict scenes from the lives of gods, rulers, and ordinary people alongside cuneiform records, tales of gods and great historical events blend with the simple story of a student from the school of clay tablet scribes, and many other remarkable encounters.
