War with the trees - preview

Sample from my latest book The War with Trees Chapter 5 "And where is Janina anyway?" Ondřej sat down at the table. "Well, you know her - she wrote that she couldn't keep up. That she's not well, let's just start without her, that she'll be here in a quarter of an hour..." Mrs. Nováková was pouring soup into deep plates. "Show me...

"Right to corrected information?" - Conversation

Before I started reading your latest book War with the Trees, you wished me to have fun with it. I'll admit, though, that it gave me chills, and with each subsequent page, I was more and more worried about the fate of the main characters. What are you…

An excursion into a different way of thinking

This is a video review of my book The War with Trees - for me, it's amazing how you can talk about something for fifteen minutes and not actually say anything at all, and most importantly, so fatally misunderstand the book... It's mainly an excursion into thinking that I really don't understand at all, but which are…

Interview for the Conscience of the Nation

“I stopped watching the mainstream a long time ago. It seems strange to me that I would suddenly start believing someone who has been lying to me for two years.

War with trees - book launch

Last Friday, September 30, we had a ceremonial christening of my new book The War of Trees at the Kámen Theatre. I am very happy that Professor Jiří Beran took on the role of godfather, who, in addition to being a doctor and one of the first fighters against senseless covid measures, is also an avid reader. I thank the photographer for the beautiful photos...

"They flew in and now they are proving us right" - Interview

I remember what a good mood you and other authors were in at the beginning of March at the launch of the book Chronicle of the Covid Era in the Kámen Theater in Karlín.

The War with the Trees - New Book

In the spring, after a year, I finished the new book War with the Trees, now I have finally finished the graphic design of the cover and it will go to press in the summer so that the book can be with you on September 14th. Years later, I also left Albatros and decided to publish books myself in my own publishing house, on the one hand...

The worst disappointment for me is from people

"... the way in which he presents himself and engages in the context of covid, I no longer comment on that at all. I'm afraid he put his last brain cells into this (really good) book.” I read sometimes between reviews of my book Chandelier for the Pope. Or today this post by a gentleman I remember from my…

Butterfly scream bestseller

Books have a special "start". Nobody knew Dan Brown here after it was published - Master Leonardo's Code sat on the shelves for about five years and nobody read it. Then, with some mysterious flapping of butterfly wings, the book became "in" and sales broke records. Although in my case...
