Book excerpt: Written in the early 1890s, before Czech independence and in an age of patriotic upsurge and romanticism, these thirty-four tales quite naturally reflect a glorification of the Czech past. While the details of the legends are necessarily archaic, peopled by kings and noblemen, ghosts and magic, the themes are universal. Now at the dawn of a new era of Czech independence, they provide a fascinating new perspective to the contemporary situation.

Download or read book Among the Bohemians written by Virginia Nicholson and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2005-03-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They ate garlic and didn't always bathe; they listened to Wagner and worshiped Diaghilev; they sent their children to coeducational schools, explored homosexuality and free love, vegetarianism and Post-impressionism. They were often drunk and broke, sometimes hungry, but they were of a rebellious spirit. Inhabiting the same England with Philistines and Puritans, this parallel minority of moral pioneers lived in a world of faulty fireplaces, bounced checks, blocked drains, whooping cough, and incontinent cats. They were the bohemians. Virginia Nicholson -- the granddaughter of painter Vanessa Bell and the great-niece of Virginia Woolf -- explores the subversive, eccentric, and flamboyant artistic community of the early twentieth century in this "wonderfully researched and colorful composite portrait of an enigmatic world whose members, because they lived by no rules, are difficult to characterize" (San Francisco Chronicle).

Book excerpt: Join me for a family saga spanning five centuries in the ancient land of Bohemia. It's a tale of love and war. Lords and serfs. Death and disease. Mix in some lust and betrayal. Adventure and sacrifice. Hitler's vengeance and Czechoslovakia's brutal Communist regime. This is the true story of one family-the Matuskas-from the 1600s until today. Those who came to America and those who stayed behind. The story begins in the rolling, forested hills of South Bohemia where castles dot the landscape and two young serfs, Mandalena and Bartolomej, agreed to a marriage in the year 1603. Thousands of people living today can trace their roots back to this young couple who farmed in a small village south of Prague. I'm one of them, but for most of my life, I had no idea. Few of us really know our family history. Few of us realize what an incredible adventure awaits us if we just take the time to do a little digging. This is the story of my family's journey to find our ancestors and our Bohemian past. And the many surprises revealed along the way.

Book excerpt: An intergalactic odyssey of love, ambition, and self-discovery. Orphaned as a boy, raised in the Czech countryside by his doting grandparents, Jakub Prochv°zka has risen from small-time scientist to become the country's first astronaut. When a dangerous solo mission to Venus offers him both the chance at heroism he's dreamt of, and a way to atone for his father's sins as a Communist informer, he ventures boldly into the vast unknown. But in so doing, he leaves behind his devoted wife, Lenka, whose love, he realizes too late, he has sacrificed on the altar of his ambitions. Alone in Deep Space, Jakub discovers a possibly imaginary giant alien spider, who becomes his unlikely companion. Over philosophical conversations about the nature of love, life and death, and the deliciousness of bacon, the pair form an intense and emotional bond. Will it be enough to see Jakub through a clash with secret Russian rivals and return him safely to Earth for a second chance with Lenka? Rich with warmth and suspense and surprise, Spaceman of Bohemia is an exuberant delight from start to finish. Very seldom has a novel this profound taken readers on a journey of such boundless entertainment and sheer fun. "A frenetically imaginative first effort, booming with vitality and originality . . .
