História zadnými dverami 3 (slovensky) – Michálek Slavomír (2021)

History is full of paradoxes, surprising twists, and, fortunately, also curiosities and interesting facts. Would it ever cross your mind that beavers were once classified as fish long before the first local developers began to make their mark in Bratislava during the First Republic? And that Grétka, the nurse who cared for Stefan Zweig when he was a child, was just one of many Slovak girls who lived and worked in Vienna at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries? And, hand on heart, most people only know about the Borgias what has been conveyed by the popular television series. In the continuation of History Through the Back Door, in addition to stories of interesting figures from the past, you can also read about what life was like for Czechoslovak soldiers in exile during World War II, how the first film about Štefánik was made, about relatively unknown chapters of the Cold War, and also about the first ladies who stood beside prominent American and Soviet statesmen. The authors of the third volume of this successful series are once again historians from the Historical Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences.
