Advent Reading VI: Advent Calendar

Short stories and poems from contemporary Czech authors. For each day of Advent, you can "unwrap" one text, most of which were written especially for this publication.

This book is the sixth in a series of popular anthologies, featuring short stories and poems by contemporary Czech writers bound in a Japanese style, with a short text by Ivan Medek as a bonus at the end. Although the anthologies are traditionally published during Advent, the themes of the stories are not necessarily linked to the Christmas season. This year, each text is accompanied by an image from the comic book author and illustrator Štěpánka Jislová. During the day, you can enjoy the picture, and in the evening, you can tear off the strip of paper to discover the story, read it, and talk about it.
