Description
Memories of a Czech engineer about life in the wild 20th century. What all did he experience? Education under Hitler and Stalin. American tanks in Hradec Králové on May 7, 1945, and his liberation. How the comrades dealt with scouting. The Prague Majáles. Designing industrial buildings during socialism. The rapid transformations of Italy. Life in Cuba: socialism or death! The end of totalitarianism in the Czech Republic. The nineties in Austria: surprisingly similar crimes and perpetrators, but different endings. He does not forget about his father, a legionnaire, an officer of the interwar Czechoslovak army, and a participant in the anti-Nazi resistance, and his colleagues, who often had very tragic fates after the years 1938 and 1948, which leads him to a number of interesting historical reflections not only about our history.
