Beschreibung
What did Jan Kubiš fight with Jozef Gabčík about at Christmas 1941? Was the priest of Lidice, Josef Štemberka, looking forward to summer in 1942? Could Edvard Beneš build a snowman? Why did Marta Gottwaldová tear her black stockings before her husband's funeral? Who did Archbishop Josef Beran observe from the window of the chateau in Roželov? What did engineer Zeman spill on his pants while watching the Spartakiad? There are moments that can wound like thorns. It’s as if time briefly stopped just to suddenly rush forward much faster, allowing history to unleash all its accumulated power through them. Jiří Padevět, a double winner of the Magnesia Litera award, has long proven that he knows how to handle such moments and human stories, breathing life into them again in his short stories. Now he comes with a new book full of seemingly mundane micro-stories that precede the pivotal events known from the textbooks of the twentieth century.
