Mezibořští Čiperové – Vodička Jiří (2022)

Do you know what Spanish flies are? How to use a steam engine in the therapy of mental illnesses? Why is it good to have a priest as a friend? All about aging, which can also be lived actively, with experiences of all kinds, can be found in Jiří Vodička's book. The Sprightly Ones from Meziboří. Joyful and touching stories about love and hope, as well as calculation and greed, in which we find the understanding that the will to live and optimism need not be lost at any age. The stories draw from real experiences but are also enriched with humorous exaggeration. The author was inspired by real-life experiences that he fictively portrayed during his stay at a nursing home for seniors in a picturesque town in the Ore Mountains and the Czech Radio initiative called Ježíškova vnoučata, aimed at highlighting lonely seniors. And if you, dear readers, open my book to the page with the story Sweet Idleness, and as you read the first sentences of this story, a smile appears on your face that will accompany you throughout the reading of my stories, I will be very pleased, and you will become the tellers of light and entertaining reading, just as I am.
