Czech Republic... Someone, hearing this name, will remember medieval streets, houses under cozy tiled roofs, Gothic cathedrals tearing up the sky with sharp spiers. The good soldier Schweik and the year 1968 will immediately come to mind. History buffs will name the names of Charles IV and the Přemyslids. And someone will smile and say: “Well, the Czech Republic is beer!” Everyone has their own idea of the Czech Republic, but what do we know about the Czechs, the owners of a wonderful country, which, according to statistics, is visited by about ten million tourists a year? Calm and reserved, hospitable and good-natured, a little shy and unhurried, cheerful and able to laugh at themselves...But stop. It is impossible to tell about the nation in a few words. It’s better to open a book in which the author, who knows about the Czech Republic first-hand, easily and wittily, without pathos or historical insults, talks about the mysterious Czech soul, along the way giving practical advice, using which you will feel at home in the Czech Republic. The book was also published under the name “Czech Republic and Czechs. What guidebooks are silent about.”
