Moje prosluněná dobrá jitra – Větvička Václav (2021)

When the morning – or if you prefer, the dawn – is good, and even sunny, it immediately draws one outside. To familiar and unfamiliar places, for a walk or for exploration and discovery. Perhaps you know the Hostýn Hills like the back of your hand, maybe you have climbed Lovoš or Boreč several times, you feel at home in Kocába, and you have hiked through the Orlické Mountains and Podorličí crisscross. Nevertheless, we now invite you to revisit these places – and many others – this time accompanied by Václav Větvička, and enjoy his captivating storytelling. Before your eyes, the Prague estates and their founders will come to life, as will Chodsko and its natives, but also Slovak Kysuca or the Slánské Hills. And it wouldn't be Václav Větvička if he didn't add something from history here, some botany, geology, or zoology there, and linguistics elsewhere. Thus, the author's journey will not be without places like Kly, Rzy, Spy, and Uhy or perhaps Rimavská Sobota, Sobotiště, Pátek u Loun, or Dunajská Streda. If you haven't had the chance to hear the author's storytelling on the waves of Czech Radio, read his essays in the pages of this book.
