100+24 brněnských kuriozit, absurdit a bizarností – Šenkýř Miloš (2024)

Simply Brno! The Moravian metropolis lives not only through its 'great' history. It would be a shame not to capture the small stories connected with its houses, streets, squares, underground spaces, and high above the rooftops, monuments of all kinds, and most importantly, the people. Journalists Miloš Šenkýř and Tomáš Kremr, in honor of the 100th anniversary of radio broadcasting from Brno, delved into their notes and records. They pulled out a pile of little-known curiosities, dated from ancient times to the present. Their goal was not to write a light-handed factual anthology. For many readers, the book may serve as an unconventional guide to the city. It will venture behind the imperial crown above the heads of Brno residents and the lamps in the streets, revealing the paradox of Brno's curtains and the mystery of a statue whose copy is in Prague. And much more. These sometimes paradoxical and sometimes charming anecdotes may provide naysayers with more ammunition to poke fun at Brno and its inhabitants, but above all, they are meant to be proof that Brno is alive. And that not only the authors but all true Brno residents love it.
