Author: Vlastimil Vondruška
13,96 €
Royal power has both public and private dimensions in Mezi tiárou a orlicí. Vratislav of the Přemyslid dynasty enters conflicts reaching beyond the Czech lands while living among courtiers, family ties, and romantic relationships. Vlastimil Vondruška tells the story of the first Bohemian king against the backdrop of the second half of the eleventh century.
The narrative follows Vratislav and the position of the Přemyslid Czech lands in Central Europe. Neighboring rulers, the struggles of the Polish and Hungarian kings, and the conflict between imperial and papal authority all enter the story. The book's title evokes the tension between these centers of medieval power.
Alongside battles and campaigns, the novel opens up life at the Přemyslid court: feasts, coronation celebrations, love, and infidelity. Nobles, courtiers, and neighboring rulers form a network in which private lives intersect with decisions about the country.
This fictional treatment of historical material combines surviving sources with storytelling. Moving from everyday court life to European power struggles, it shows a ruler's life shaped by the political circumstances of his time.
This Czech-language edition has 512 pages. E-book formats: EPUB and MOBI.
