A connection to the National Library.
Yesterday we visited the National Library and the Strahov Monastery Library. We could choose one of three libraries to visit on yesterday morning's outing and although I initially wanted to see the new Faculty of Arts Library I changed my mind and went to see the National Library. We were given an interesting talk on the history of the library and also a tour of the historic buildings in which it is housed. The highlight for me was searching the catalogue and finding that they held both father's book "Jazyk, kultúra a hlbinná psychológia" and several of mother's publications including "Správnou výživou k dobrému vysvedčeniu" which loosely translated means "With good nutrition to good grades," a booklet my mother wrote in 1955.

I was using Google to translate the name of your father's book and searched it instead, by mistake. Your blog post came up #1 in the results. So nice the you are making new and old connections throughout this trip.
ReplyDeleteThis trip is really turning out to be a voyage of discovery!
ReplyDeleteThe title of father's book is approximately "Language, culture and "deep psychology."
