Description
The first Czech to see the pyramids and the eruption of Etna. A representative selection from the poetry and preserved correspondence of Bohuslav Hasištejnský of Lobkovice (1461?—1510) in translations by Marta Vaculínová and Helena Businská makes accessible to contemporary readers the context of social and cultural events in our lands at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries, in the era of the waning Middle Ages and the rising humanism. Private letters with critical and timelessly witty epigrams provide a unique testimony to the religious rifts and political situation during the reign of Vladislav Jagellonian, to Hasištejnský's journey to the Mediterranean, as well as to his worldview, unfulfilled ambitions, and love for books.
