Příběh záporáka aneb Proč volíme voly (2026)

The contents of this Czech-language novel follow Kamil, who wants only one thing from life: to rise to the top, without work, scruples or waiting. He wants money, influence and advantages, ideally at once. When quick money and dubious deals fail him, he discovers a world where success is not measured by ability, but by the courage to lie, deny everything and always remain on the right side. Rules are only for those who lose. Kamil adapts quickly and rises even faster. He moves from one position to the next, changes his face as needed and finds ways to silence his conscience. At his side is Andrea, beautiful, dangerous and certainly unwilling to play second fiddle. While Kamil gathers power, she gathers opportunities, men, money and influence. Their relationship holds together only because it benefits them both. But the more they have, the more they risk. When everything begins to fall apart, it becomes clear that the greatest problem is not the fall itself, but what remains afterward. This is a dirty, sharp story about power, relationships without illusions and the fact that when you play a high-stakes game, someone always pays the bill. The question is who.
