The world of stories is immortal and far exceeds the length of human lives. Arny Šrámek will guide us through the Czech country through almost two hundred legends and legends. Dramatic narratives, full of miracles and supernatural phenomena, often hide a tiny sliver of historical reality around which a remarkable plot unfolds. In the Lexicon you will find legends that were at the very birth of the Czech nation, but also lesser-known regional stories. Many of the stories will amuse you, others will make you think and others will reveal hidden curiosities. The book is an invitation to the world of fantasy and a confirmation of the fact that the Czech Republic is a land of stories.
Annotation 2
Arny Šrámek invites the reader to wander through the Czech country through almost two hundred legends and legends. Each region here tells its own unique story - from the old Prague tales of Libuše's prophecy and the alchemists of Rudolf II. through the secrets of castles and sacred places to stories from the mountains, forests and Moravian vineyards. The author brings to life well-known and lesser-known legends and legends with ease and narrative flair. The book is an invitation to a world of imagination and an invitation to reflect on how deeply stories are rooted in the landscape we walk through every day. Follow the white lady, the ghosts, the gnomes and the kings and discover that exoticism doesn't start at the end of the world, but often right outside your door.
