But still.

Throughout his life, Michael Třeštík has repeatedly encountered several subjects that are usually described in books with deep expertise, gravity, and lofty language. However, he approaches them completely differently and in his own way. He starts poetry with a crude poem, music with the failure of a French horn in the New World Symphony, and architecture with a rolled-up piece of paper. He notices the subtle touches of art and humanity, the people who bring these subjects to life, and the stories associated with them. The book offers fresh and unusual perspectives on the background of creation and writing, how a work comes into being and what its effect is, what traces it leaves behind, how we can perceive it, and what it can give us.
