About event
Presentation of new titles by Pavel Hošek and Martin C. Putna
What does the interpretation of the bitter book of the ancient Ecclesiastes have in common with the comforting Hrabalov reading room? What does Solomon's Palace have in common with Libní, and would these two poets of human everyday life agree on the fate of man, philosophy, mysticism, hope, wine, Polabí, our values, would they agree on anything at all?
Presentation of an annotated reading book from the work of Bohumil Hrabal Gods are you and the biblical book Ecclesiastes with commentary for daily reading, two new titles by prominent figures of the Czech academic and spiritual scene, professors Pavel Hošek and Martina C. Putny, which are published as part of two small but powerful editions of the Biblion publishing house.
There will be no shortage of surprising connections, personal interest, skepticism or encouragement.
The writer Jana Šrámková accompanies the evening.
