Zlatý orel – Tomáš Eduard (2015)

The Golden Eagle (first published in 1942) is a purebred Western novel. A cowboy story through and through: with guns hanging dangerously low, mysterious Indians, prospectors obsessed with the dream of a gold vein, ruthless desperados, and prairie bandits. All of this is spiced with pure love and the eternal struggle of good against evil, which gives the story an ethical dimension. Within the works of Dr. Eduard Tomáš, it is a rare piece, born from a bet with a friend. Let’s not be mistaken, a sense of humor, a feel for poetry, imagination, and natural humanity belong to mystics just as much as a deep interest in introspective searching for the universal source of life, which we might call God. Tomáš's literary debut will surely find its readers. It will appeal not only to lovers of the adventure genre but also to all those who appreciate the author - it will delight them with its freshness, wit, and imaginative storytelling, and attentive readers may also catch a glimpse of the gentle glow of the mystic's great heart between the lines. The foreword, in which he outlines the circumstances of the novel's creation and engagingly introduces the personality of his father, was written by Miloš Tomáš.
