Cesta - Paměti české aristokratky

A biography of Countess Sternberg, recounting the story of her family with extraordinary narrative talent and a great deal of perceptiveness, gentle humour and ironic detachment, full of events and twists. The pre-war life of the aristocratic elite, the Nazi confiscation of property, a brief return to the family estates, emigration to the USA, existential uncertainty, the need to provide for the family, anchoring in Jamaica... The author's exceptional talent has enabled her to create a remarkable, immediate psychological probe into the life of one social class, revealing the face and the back of its way of life.
