Description
Whether artists, aristocrats, travelers, or seamstresses, all experience extraordinary fateful adventures, often in confrontation with an environment that considers them eccentric and decadent. In Prague or in remote estates and inaccessible gardens, sapphic love blooms, and mothers yearn for their sons; by the sea, the call of mysterious tragic distances can be heard. Růžena Jesenská is a unique figure in Czech literature, a versatile author who, alongside her novels for girls and educational plays, could write provocatively sensual and symbolic texts that seem to take place outside the world. This selection, compiled and prefaced by Petr Boček, is recommended as a midnight delight for all romantically, neo-romantically, and decadently inclined readers with a weakness for delicate fantasy and stories written in refined prose shrouded in desire, far removed from all realism.
