Chronicle of legends and legends

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.
