Description
A charming book written in English by a young Norwegian Czechologist offers newcomers and settled foreigners a witty insight into the Czech national mentality with its strengths and weaknesses. The book, full of fresh observations about the way of life in the Czech lands, from the most private sphere to the political sphere, is filled with humor, but also with small "biting remarks" that not only entertain but also provoke thought. From this perspective, it is undoubtedly a contribution and at the same time an entertaining read for both foreigners and those Czechs who speak English. Moreover, readers will find chapters on the topic of "Czechs, national and foreign language" here, alongside a number of others (beer, sex, politics, changing shoes, tunneling, etc.). Accompanied by black and white photographs.
