Set against the backdrop of World War II and the occupation of Czechoslovakia, the narrative explores themes of courage, resistance, and the struggles of a young protagonist named Slávek Čermák, as he grapples with the implications of oppression while participating in acts of defiance against the German occupiers. The story highlights the resilience of the Czech people and their fight for freedom during a time of darkness. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the Čermák family and their life in the rural Valašsko region, characterized by both natural beauty and hardships. Slávek, a fifteen-year-old boy, exhibits a growing awareness of the political turmoil surrounding him, becoming increasingly consumed by nationalistic feelings and a desire to resist the oppression that is encroaching upon his homeland. As he prepares for a school recitation event, Slávek reflects on the weight of the circumstances he faces, motivated by the writings of Czech poets who inspired him to action. The narrative takes a deeper turn as Slávek becomes involved in the underground resistance, conveying a blend of personal and collective struggle against tyranny.
