Description
This Czech-language memoir by Jana Schmausová Vydrová, the great-granddaughter of inventor František Křižík, tells the story of a family literally charged with energy. Born in 1939, she was a friend of Jan Werich’s family, an athlete and a real-estate agent in the United States, where she made an adventurous escape from communist Czechoslovakia. She has experienced much and spoken about it in Czech Television, Czech Radio and Memory of Nations. Her comprehensive recollections offer a testimony about the difficult existence of the 20th century under various totalitarian regimes, as well as about how a person can work their way up from nothing to become a complete professional. Based on believable experiences and real events, the book is presented as an extraordinary source of inspiration.
