F. Scott Fitzgerald
colorized by Jecinci // F. Scott Fitzgerald was an American fiction writer, whose works helped to illustrate the flamboyance and excess of the Jazz Age. While he achieved popular success, fame, and fortune in his lifetime, he did not receive much critical acclaim until after his death.

Siřem: vesnice, kterou proslavil Franz Kafka - Novinky.cz
Postava Franze Kafky bývá spojována především s Prahou. Spisovatel světového formátu však pobýval také v jedné zapadlé vesnici českého pohraničí. Tady získal inspiraci k románu Zámek a ukončil komplikovaný vztah s Felice Bauerovou. Přesto nebylo v Siřemi po Kafkově odkazu donedávna ani stopy. Díky hrstce nadšenců se to ale mění.
