Skoro modlitby apek Karel (2020)

Karel apek speaks in many voices. Some pray, some blaspheme, and some deal with matters that seem entirely non-spiritual. Some are the voices of characters, others those of narrators. At times the speaker is a young and turbulent author, at others a mature and settled one, or a tragic figure deepened by the nearness of death. These voices could form many books. Almost Prayers brings them together across voices, genres and stages of development, so that those who do not pray may pray with them, and those who do not go to church may turn to them for comfort. The book is compiled and annotated by Martin C. Putna, who explores the spiritual history of Europe and the Czech lands across denominations and genres. After Karl VI. Schwarzenberg, Jan Kollr and Vclav Havel, he now turns his attention to Karel apek.
