Description
This collection contains twenty short stories. Readers encounter the story of a Madonna statuette found in a plundered cemetery chapel, the adventures of a Biedermeier conservatory with a long family history, and other tales narrated by an old rusty drawing pin or an Art Nouveau pewter vase. Beautiful women appear throughout the stories, while delicious wine is drunk and good food is enjoyed. The collection by Karel Žižkovský includes ten beautiful illustrations by Boris Jirků, with the eleventh drawing being a portrait of the author, who introduces himself as: “I am a geologist interested in everything beautiful, and also a collector.” The stories are in Czech.
