What is Peklo v ráji about?
Sixteen-year-old Vilík Křemen longs for adventure so much that he runs away from home to sea. Instead of his romantic vision of seafaring life, he experiences a shipwreck. Vilík finds himself on an unknown island with a civilization cut off from the modern world. Its inhabitants live in a way resembling the Middle Ages and, according to the available information, are said to descend from European Goths. As Vilík learns about his new surroundings, a pirate attack disrupts the situation. Their leader is no ordinary robber but a skilled inventor, linking the adventure to the technological and fantastic imagination characteristic of Troska’s work. After being captured, Vilík faces direct danger, and his pursuit of adventure becomes a struggle to survive. The novel uses the classic premise of a young hero thrown into an unfamiliar world, where he must respond to events far beyond his previous experience.
