Description
Writer and translator Heda Kaufmannová turns to her own family and the earliest stages of her life in seven reflective chapters. In her texts, she gradually maps her ancestral roots, explores and composes buried fragments with vivid details about relatives, their character traits, and patterns of behavior. The memories tied to the course of ordinary family life, work, and leisure evoke a deeply ingrained closeness and trust. The chapters dedicated to schooling in primary and secondary schools, and later a girls' lyceum, along with classmates and teachers, are equally vivid. Humor and irony are prominent stylistic features of her literary expression. To this day, this book provides, among other things, a report on the background of a woman who has repeatedly proven her courage and determination to resist adverse life circumstances.
