The Grandmother (Babička from Božena Němcová) in English. We all know the story set at the foot od the Giant Mountains - it is about a grandmother, who comes to live Na Staré Bělidlo to join her daughter and her grandchildren. The Grandmother, who embodies the ideal of motherliness with her plain wisdom, goodness and love. Without ever getting sentimental, Božena Němcová portrays not only the national customs and traditions of Bohemia and old Austria, but also the people who, in her childhood, defined life in the wooded valley of Úpa - the teachers, the midservants, the farmhands, the millers and the foresters, to name few. Beautifully illustrated gift for those, who can not read Babičku in Czech.

Irena and Josef meet by chance while returning to their homeland, which they had abandoned twenty years earlier. Will they manage to pick up the thread of their strange love story, interrupted almost as soon as it began and then lost in the tides of history? The truth is that after such a long absence "their memories no longer match." We always believe that our memories coincide with those of the person we loved, taht we experienced the same thing. But this is just an illusion.

This volume contains all of Kafka's shorter fiction, from fragments, parables and sketches to longer tales. Together they reveal the breadth of Kafka's literary vision and the extraordinary imaginative depth of his thought. Some are well-known, others are mere jottings, observations of daily life, given artistic form through Kafka's unique perception of the world.
