Description
This Czech-language book offers kind and humorous observations on life among the people of the foothills of the Italian Dolomites, seen through the eyes of Czech author Marta. With wit and perspective, the author, who has lived in the region for thirteen years, explores the ease and difficulty of life in a small Italian mountain town, including why elderly Italian men remain so stylish, why their eighty-year-old wives are so impeccably groomed, why Italians carry small wallets, speak openly about love at any age, and drink exceptionally strong coffee without suffering heart attacks. She also considers their respect for authorities, the gentle soul of the mountain people, what Italians think our beautiful native Czech land is known for, why they treat all children as their own, and why they keep singing despite working Saturdays. The observations are drawn not only from life behind the counter of a small grocery shop.
