Description
In the book Stories of Songs, Michal Bystrov follows the trails of songs whose original meanings, fates, or authors have long been forgotten. Based on verified facts, he describes in as much detail and truthfulness as possible the history of their creation, compares all known theories, points out centuries-old errors, and depicts the environments and situations in which the individual songs were born. Are you curious why someone named their boat John B., in which bend the brave engineer Příhoda crashed, whether Tom Dooley existed or not, who was called the yellow rose of Texas, what that dancing Matylda was about, and what it might look like in Tipperary? You will find the answers in this book.
