Královské město Rakovník, Rakovnicko a Křivoklátsko kraj mého dětství se stal mou nekonečnou inspirací. Navracím se sem na stránkách svých knih nejen za překrásnou přírodou, architektonickými skvosty a historickými památkami, ale především za lidmi, kteří zde žijí. V rodném kraji zůstávají naše kořeny, i když nás život odvane jinam.

The Good Soldier Švejk and His Fortunes in the World War
- 752 pages
- 27 hours of reading
"Good-natured and garrulous, Švejk becomes the Austrian army's most loyal Czech soldier when he is called up on the outbreak of the First World War - although his bumbling attempts to get to the front serve only to prevent him from reaching it. Playing cards, getting drunk and becoming a general nuisance, the resourceful Švejk uses all his natural cunning and genial subterfuge to deal with the doctors, police, clergy and officers who chivvy him towards battle. The story of a 'little man' caught in a vast bureaucratic machine, The Good Soldier Švejk combines dazzling wordplay and piercing satire to create a hilariously subversive depiction of the futility of war"--P.
