    Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten. The book is based on a presentation of the main data from three statistical representative readership surveys conducted by the Institute of the Czech Literature (the Czech Academy of Sciences) and the National Library of the Czech Republic in 2007, 2010, and 2013. Czech readership culture is here monitored against a background of relevant information on the Czech Republic as a whole (e.g. demography, culture, education and the economy). However, the main section of this book is aimed at a wide spectrum of specific activities such as reading, digital reading, public library attendance, buying and acquiring books, and mass media activities. All these activities are interpreted by putting them into relevant contexts; at the same time, quantitative data are enlarged by qualitative findings. The book also contains a chapter comparing Czech reading culture with the situation abroad. Published in cooperation with the Institute of the Czech Literature.…

Trávnícek also takes a global look at literary love, exploring the parallels between the reading cultures of other countries and the Czechs' unique fervor for the written word.

Kdybyste mela dat svemu diteti na cestu zivotem jednu knihu, ktera by to byla? Vejce a ja. Takto odpovedela Marta Kubisova na dotaz Tomase Halika v roce 2015. Proc zrovna Betty MacDonaldova, autorka Vejce a ja, dosahla u ceskych ctenaru (rozumej: ctenarek) takove popularity? Co ji zpusobilo? A proc se tak deje zrovna u nas a ne jinde? Autor nejdrive sleduje americke osudy zivota a dila Betty MacDonaldove v sirsich kulturne-spolecenskych souvislostech; pote hleda ceske paralely, kody a predpoklady; v dalsi casti dostavaji slovo samotne ceske ctenarky a jejich nazory; kniha konci shrnujicim pohledem na dany fenomen v sirokem kontextu (ctenarske) kultury. Ba ne, neni to jen osobity humor, jimz se tato americka autorka vepsala do nasich srdci; do znacne miry je to i jeji protofeminismus. Jeji kulturni mise v ceskem prostredi je jak ctenarska, tak emancipacni.…
