A literary masterpiece about resistance and survival in the 19th century. Radka Denemarková reads from her award-winning novel – with references to the present.
Description
The award-winning author Radka Denemarková presents her new work "Chocolate Blood," which has been translated by Eva Profousová. The novel intertwines the fates of three historical figures from the 19th century: the Czech writer Božena Němcová, the French author George Sand, and the entrepreneur John D. Rockefeller. Like a train journey through the era, the novel weaves together short scenes into a multifaceted portrait of the time, drawing connections to the present day.
Denemarková explores writing as an act of resistance and a survival strategy in a world shaped by conventions. The reading will be moderated by Dana Pfeiferová, who will discuss the novel's creation and themes with the author. With "Chocolate Blood" and "Kobold," Denemarková published two highly acclaimed novels in 2026, whose works have been translated into over 20 languages.
