Vítězství mořské želvy – Pavel Luboš (2025)

The novel The Victory of the Sea Turtle is an inspiring tale of determination, love for nature, and the search for meaning in the fight for its protection. It is a story about big dreams and the courage to face inevitable changes, intertwining real scientific knowledge with the emotional, personal fate of biologist Brigita Kučerová, who leaves a small town near Prague to embark on a journey around the world to protect endangered sea turtles. Her journey is not straightforward – she must face failures and personal trials, battling turtle egg smugglers, dealing with exhausting bureaucracy, but she never loses her determination to fight for the endangered species.

A unique feature of the book is the parallel story of a little turtle named Brí, which Brigita invents as a way to understand and convey to the world the beauty and fragility of turtle life. Through her journey across the ocean, the reader experiences the contrast between the human and animal worlds and discovers a powerful metaphor about perseverance, courage, and a meaningful life.

This story will not only soothe your soul but also make you think about our responsibility to the planet and all living things that exist on it.
