Janek's Swing

František Jungbauer

Czech·C1 Advanced·22 sections

Sbírka devatenácti povídek z české vesnice, v jejichž středu stojí chlapec Janek — snílek a podivín, který sedává na staré borovici a rozmlouvá se svým zesnulým otcem. Příběhy zachycují dětský svět plný fantazie, her, zvířat a venkovských tradic, ale i první setkání s bolestí, smrtí a dospíváním.

A collection of nineteen stories from a Czech village, centered around Janek — a dreamy, eccentric boy who sits in an old pine tree and talks to his deceased father. The stories capture a child's world full of imagination, play, animals, and rural traditions, but also first encounters with pain, death, and growing up.
