We Were Five

The original humor, spontaneity, and kindness of Karel Poláček will leave a mark on the soul of every reader. If a smile extends life by five minutes, then reading Poláček extends it for a year, at least! The action of the story 'There Were Five of Us' takes place in a small Czech town, and the adventures and antics of five boys are described so humorously that it is impossible not to laugh. The story 'Hedvika and Ludvik' is a provincial family saga, the events of which are amusing and unrealistic to such an extent that they sometimes reach absurdity. Unadapted texts without abbreviations, level B2-C1.
