• Description

  Poems and Letters The first Czech who saw the pyramids and the eruption of Etna. A representative selection from the poetry and preserved correspondence of Bohuslav Hasištejnský of Lobkovice (1461?—1510) translated by Marta Vaculínová makes available to the contemporary reader the context of social and cultural events in our countries at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries , in the era of the fading Middle Ages and emerging humanism. Private letters with critical and timelessly witty epigrams bear unique testimony about religious rifts and the political situation during the reign of Vladislav Jagiellonsky, about Hasištejnsky's trip to the Mediterranean and about his worldview, unfulfilled ambitions and love of books.
