Mluví Černý jelen
ISBN: 9788075116536 / Czeski / Miękka / 2021 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Na pozadí příběhu Černého jelena chtěl John G. Neihardt popsat tragický zápas severoamerických indiánů s neúprosně postupující mašinérií vyspělé civilizace bílých lidí. Indiáni nebojovali pouze za své území, ale také za zachování původního způsobu života. Kniha Mluví Černý jelen ponechává osobní tón indiánského vyprávěče, a ten se tak stává mluvčím a zároveň symbolem Lakotů a prérijních indiánů vůbec. Svým životem ztělesnil postupnou porážku lakotského světa. Neihardt doufal, že popisem marného a tragického boje se mu...
