The Beauties of Moravia and Silesia with Latin Quotes

Beauties of Moravia and Silesia with Latin Quotes is a pictorial walk through places that the author, Aleš Březík, visited and captured with his camera during his travels. Photographs of landscapes, towns, monuments, and natural nooks are accompanied by Latin quotes with Czech translations, which evoke experiences, observations, and life wisdom passed down through the centuries. Alongside sayings from ancient authors, the book also features biblical quotes.

The publication thus connects photography, Latin, history, and a relationship with Moravia and Silesia. The introduction outlines selected events from Moravian history, and the reader will also find an overview of Latin pronunciation in the book. Each page offers a small pause – an image of a specific place complemented by thoughts, many of which have not lost their relevance even today.

The book may appeal to lovers of Moravia and Silesia, photography, and history, as well as those who wish to recall both famous and lesser-known Latin sayings and their Czech meanings.
