O chalupách a lidech
Author: Petra Schindler-Wisten
7,60 €
A trip to the cottage is also a journey into the history of everyday life. Petra Schindler-Wisten examines Czech cottage culture as a leisure practice, a form of second-home living, and part of the relationship between town and countryside. The focus is on the normalization period and the social transformation that followed.
An anthropological and historical perspective connects personal motivations with conditions affecting housing, mobility, and travel. The book will appeal to readers interested in how a recreational practice becomes a lifestyle and how political and economic circumstances alter its meaning.
The monograph places Czech cottage culture within the history of leisure, second homes, and social change before and after 1989.

What is O chalupách a lidech about?
The account traces the roots of recreation and the growth of cottage culture during the normalization period. It asks why people left the city and considers the broader opportunities and constraints of their living environment.
