Forgotten Voices III: When the countryside was breaking

A collection of prose depicting the Czech countryside at a moment of fundamental change. The texts by Teréza Nováková, Karel Klostermann and Josef Holeček depict a world of work, poverty, faith and landscape that has begun to change irreversibly under the pressure of modern times.
The authors depict the everyday life of rural people without idealization - with an emphasis on social reality, the relationship to the landscape and the slow decay of traditional values. The book is a testimony to the roots of Czech society and the price these roots paid for progress.
