About This Item
The book is in excellent condition. The pages are white, of high quality, and the book smells pleasant. One page has a small easily overlooked punch-rip. Binding is good. Hardcover is green with black trim and gold embossed author and title only on the spine.
The Dust Jacket is ripped and taped and has some insect damage and torn corners.
What makes this second 1933 edition book especially interesting, is that it is signed, small and unpretentious, in fine black ink by the author.
The book is written in Czechoslovakian.
The story is a Czechoslovakian version of "Robinhood" of sorts, a blend of fact and magical fiction of the mythical or legendary Nikola Suhaj, (depending on who you believe).

The story takes place in Ruthenia, mostly after, but also during the First World War. This region is forgotten, and people here are very poor and their only livelihood is the forests, where they say God lives, witches cast spells, and there are enchanted places where even the wildlife won't go. The themes of justice, freedom, and betrayal are skillfully represented.
