Žítkovské bohyně
Author: Kateřina Tučková
13,96 €
Žítkovské bohyně explores the boundary between family memory and the scholarly study of tradition. Kateřina Tučková centers the story on ethnographer Dora Idesová, who comes from a line of women associated with extraordinary abilities. She has not inherited their art and turns instead to research. The novel will appeal to readers of family and historical stories with a mysterious atmosphere. The White Carpathians provide a distinctive local setting. The discovery of a State Security file about a woman close to Dora connects the private story with the political past, turning the search for tradition into a question of how history shapes individual lives.
Ethnographer Dora Idesová studies the tradition of the Žítková goddesses, to which her own family belonged. In the late 1990s, she discovers an archived State Security file about her aunt Surmena.
The search into the women's lives connects research, family memory, and political history. The story is rooted in the White Carpathians.

Memory: Family stories meet archival records.
Tradition: Dora studies an art passed down by women.
History: The political past intrudes on private lives.
