Sudetský dům II
Author: Štěpán Javůrek
9,96 €
Czech families arrive in postwar Skláře seeking new homes. After her mother’s death, Jarmila Lukešová cares for her younger brothers and a father gambling away his savings. Her feelings for František Smolík are initially unreturned: he awaits Paula’s return from Germany.
About the book
After February 1948, politics increasingly intrudes on private lives. František clashes with local officials who impose impossible delivery quotas on his farm. The threat of collectivization turns economic pressure into a struggle for work, home, and dignity.
Jarmila supports František as family and emotional choices become inseparable from party and security-force surveillance. Štěpán Javůrek connects the saga’s second volume with changing rural life and frustrated postwar hopes.
