Summary
History of the Czech Republic - from the migration of the Slavs to modern times
This first comprehensive history of the Czech Republic in the Croatian language reminds us of the importance of the layers of Central European history and the greatness of Czech culture. The authorship of the book is signed by a group of eminent Czech historians who mastered the most difficult task of writing the entire national history in a measured tone.
"But one thing we can accept with certainty, and that is the unquestionable future of the human spirit: no matter how violently and in the name of what it is uniformed, directed and forced into submission, the victorious demand for the freedom of the spirit will awaken again and again in it. The spirit can be oppressed, but not permanently; if it thinks, if it judges and creates, it will inevitably jump over the fences set by any despotism. Any violent government is only an obstacle that will sooner or later be removed; any reaction, any descent into demagogy and fanaticism is nothing but an episode after which - with unnecessary losses, at the cost of blood and precious time - the freedom of human souls will be restored."
