Mladočov Jericho: Presentation of Bibliophile Edition of Jan Boštík Book
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: December 12, 2025, 19:00 – 21:00
The first edition of the book by farmer Jan Boštík (1903–1981) Mladočovské Jericho (Mladočov Jericho), which mapped the experience of collectivisation in his native village of Mladočov, attracted a lot of attention among both ordinary readers and in specialised circles. As a collaborator on the project Lammel invited Prague artist Jakub Grec, who accompanied each copy with original drawings created using an unconventional ink technique. Rolníkův spis (The Farmer’s Document), conceived as a complex work of art, has been published by Jiří Lammel in collaboration with the Regional Museum in Litomyšl.
The evening dedicated to the story of Mladočov, during which a short documentary by Eva Lammelová will be screened, will be attended by historian Martin Boštík, the author's grandson and an expert on his work, historian Václav Ruml, illustrator Jakub Grec and graphic designer and publisher Jiří Lammel.
Excerpts from the work will be read by actor Jan Vlasák while Petr Gojda will serve as our guide through the evening.
