Gottland: Mostly True Stories from Half of Czechoslovakia by Mariusz Szczygieł

4.0

I'm glad I finally read the book, as I actually should know it, but there was plenty of new things for me (and I made notes). It's in general rather sad book, describing misfortunes and bad behaviour and it left me feeling sad.
Also sad is the fact that there are multiple errors in the book (Hus being from 13th century or invasion in 1969) which really shouldn't happen, especially as the book is meant for foreign readers.
The stories are written nicely, they are short and it's pleasant read.
