        Literary Travel Guide Bohemian Spa Triangle

        Karlovy Vary/Karlsbad, Mariánské Lázně/Marienbad, Františkovy Lázně/Franzensbad

        by Roswitha Schieb/Václav Petrbok/Tanja Krombach

        The West Bohemian spas in the Czech Republic were throughout all epochs international attractions for writers and others personalities from the world of art and politics. In the Literary Travel Guide This is mirrored by a wealth of German and Czech as well as other foreign-language texts. The walks through the famous spa towns Karlsbad/Karlovy Vary, Marienbad/Mariánské Lázně and Franzensbad/Františkovy Lázně lead on the traces of most famous authors like Goethe and Kafka, but also of less known names like Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach or Louis Fürnberg. Quotations of representatives of Czech literature such as Božena Němcová, Jan Neruda or Karel Čapek in turn show a very own view of the spas inhabited mostly by Bohemian Germans. The book invites to a voyage of discovery into the region, where the cultural flair of the past and the present can be experienced through new impulses like local initiatives and festivals.

        Zbytočné pohyby

        by Tereza Oľhová

        In the story, the author draws us into the inner world of actress Lucia and her daily struggle with parental responsibilities, job insecurity and one or two men. With ironic detachment and a keen eye for detail, she observes her life and draws connections between the most ordinary actions and difficult decisions. She sees the crisis as an opportunity to explore human boundaries. But she also finds in it a space for hope and a search for a better version of herself. All this in a world that is often full of unnecessary movements.

        Posledný Permoník

        by Tereza Oľhová, Eva Škandíková

        An illustrated children's book about the last living permonik, who was left all alone after a massive gold mining operation under Kremnica. He lives in his little room in the shed, his ears hurt, he wanders through the underground passages and sometimes he secretly goes to someone's house and reads the daily newspaper. It is only thanks to eight-year-old Adam that he dares to come out among the people after 500 years. He is surprised to discover that instead of medieval torture chambers, the town has shops, a barber shop and a fitness centre, and he is utterly charmed by contemporary inventions such as street lighting, football or cakes. Maybe it's because of them that he'll start to like people a little.

        Why I can't like him/her?

        by Anna Claudia Ramos, Antônio Schimeneck

        Adolescence is a time of many doubts, anxieties and uncertainties. In this phase, sexuality is unfolding, and we are going through — because everyone has gone, is going or will go through — self-questions about all conditions, all desires, including regarding sexuality. If on the one hand, we see in beautiful social networks beautiful movements of self-acceptance and discovery, on the other hand we live in a time of great obscurantism and attempt to cage the desires and contain the experiences of young people – whether at home or at school, and unfortunately, many times, with public authority initiative. This book asks this of young people, who often find themselves trapped by a cultural need (or family pressure) to create heteronormative bonds, when, in fact, they feel the desire for people of the same sex. But this book also understands that it is necessary to take this issue to the world, so that everyone reflects on otherness, sexuality and, mainly, the many possibilities of affection and desire. Por que não consigo gostar dele/dela? is a book with two sides, two covers, four stories and many testimonials.
