The Festival of the Snake

Lives Bitten by the Times. A Story Inspired by a True Narrative.

The freezing streets of Moscow, a desolate gulag, the battlefields of the Second World War, and post-war Prague. History sweeps a trio of friends, who grew up in the untouched nature of Subcarpathian Ruthenia, through all these places. Their carefree childhood has become a cherished memory for Helena, Michal, and Roman. During their arduous journey, they face numerous trials but also experience glimmers of hope and humanity. But in venomous times, the face of a person can hide the character of a snake…  

The author of the book

Lucie Hlavinková

Lucie Hlavinková was born and has lived in Brno her entire life. She studied history and religious studies at the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University. She works as a teacher, translator, and writer. For many years she wrote 'for the drawer', until in 2016 she won a literary competition held by the Albatros publishing house with her children's book titled Projekt pes (ten můj) (Project Dog (the one that's mine)), which has had several sequels. 

She continued writing children's books, following up with the equally successful Sesterstvo (Sisterhood) series. Her first book for adults, Sestry Foxovy (The Fox Sisters), a biographical historical novel about the founders of spiritualism, was published in 2017. Two years later, under the Motto publishing house, she released the historical novel with a detective plot Apatykář (The Apothecary) and the novel Kdo šije u Podolské? (Who Sews at Podolská's?), about the fate of a famous salon in the 1950s.
