Mysterious Pages of Czech History

Mysterious Pages of Czech History (or From Forefather Čech to the Habsburg Ghosts) Jan Bauer, one of the most popular Czech authors of historical books, says this about the jubilee, 20th volume of the Český ČAS Edition, his new book Mysterious Pages of Czech History: “Since I have called my book this, it would not be wise of me to blab everything in advance. Therefore, in short: you can look forward to twenty-seven stories shrouded in mystery, ranging from the distant past to the 1920s. They are filled with unsolved (and unpunished) murders, passion, mysteries, brave encounters and cowardly turncoats, myths put right… There are also ‘events’ that never happened, and yet served as the basis for beautiful works of art. And with that, I’d rather stop; you can read more for yourselves. I hope that, just like me, you will be captivated by the mysterious stories of our colourful history. And I want to assure you that you will also get to those Habsburg ghosts, as I promise in the subtitle!”
