Humorous encounters with important world personalities and their stories
In what sport did Queen Elizabeth do better than actor Daniel Craig? What did Woody Allen treat Václav Havel with in his apartment? And who gave Margaret Thatcher the "mudskipper"?
In his new literary work, writer, translator and diplomat Michael Žantovský describes "indelible experiences" with important world figures with charming exaggeration and wit: from Václav Havel, George Bush Sr, François Mitterrand, Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail Gorbachev to the Dutch and British Queens and the Rolling Stones to Pope John Paul II. and the 14th Tibetan Dalai Lama.
Thanks to the author, the reader will relive, albeit in a slightly different way, the groundbreaking historical events of the late twentieth century - the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the vicissitudes of the Middle East peace process and the evolution of the European Union towards an "ever closer union". They visit the real capital of the United States, Georgetown, the Nashville Grand Ole Opry and the London Olympics, ...to a Hollywood star the size of Jack Nicholson, Sylvester Stallone or Woody Harrelson, and will even attend one of the meetings of the secretive Bilderberg organization, where the fate of all of us is decided behind our backs.
In the thirteen chapters of his book, Michael Zantovsky reveals the true nature of world events and confirms all the suspicions we have never dared to confide in anyone except our psychiatrist.
