Stanislav Bor was born in 1936 in Prague, holds Czech and Swiss citizenship, and lives mainly in Zurich. This “documentary” novel by Stanislav Bor is the first of two books. The life paths of his anti-heroes serve the author as a basis for describing real historical events. In this book, for the first time in modern literature, the reader can become acquainted with a very rare topic: nobles—large landowners from Bohemia—and how they lived, thought, and felt.
