The author's story, accompanied by beautiful illustrations, perceptively and with a deep understanding of the crucial moments in the life of perhaps the most beloved of Czech composers and looks into the mystery of the creation of his works. Readers will learn about many unsuspected conditions that are important for the composition of a musical opus, understand seemingly impenetrable terms from music theory, refresh their knowledge of Smetana's operas and other compositions, and last but not least, discover the high price the composer had to pay for his success, which came unpredictably and was often bought at great personal sacrifice. The book is the second volume of Veronika Bílková's free series of books on the lives and works of famous composers. Her debut, Ludwig van Beethoven, won the prestigious BIB 2021 international award for publishing achievement.

The legendary Grandma, but also fairy tales such as The Seven Raven's Tales, The Princess with the Golden Star on Her Forehead or The Clever Highlander, as well as dozens of short stories and other texts.
In Askwith's sensitive and balanced biography, Zátopek emerges from the husk of myths to reveal himself as a kind, immediate, clever and occasionally fallible man who maintained his modesty and common sense even at the height of his sporting fame, and did not bitterly bite the dust even when his civic attitudes caused him to take a hard fall after 1968 and spend years in obscurity.
