Three Mums & Dad
Mums striking back...? Well, not really. Mums are much more honorable than this. But in a way it really is a counterpart to the first and widely favorite book Three Dads & Mum. Again we deal here with three famous writers, artists and... mums. This time the story is followed by true Dad in the illustrator’s persona – extraordinary Czech comic author and visual artist Jaromír 99. But what makes the real difference here is, that each of the female-authors is telling their own life based story revealing their thinking and experiencing a person of a Dad. Barbara Nesvadbová devoted a lot of space to memories of her own father, Czech writer Josef Nesvadba, while in the story by Natálie Kocábová we follow dreamlike and symbolic quest for the lost father of her son. Favorite Czech prose writer Alena Ježková crowned the storybook bringing a sensitive story of a small boy who actually finds the key to his father’s heart.

The Golem
Judah Loew ben Bezalel has been resting in the Old Jewish Cemetery, Prague, for almost four centuries now. But the legends of the miraculous deeds of this extremely learned rabbi, powerful miracle-worker, and creator of the golem live on as an integral part of the mythology of Prague. Brio is pleased to present the most beautiful of them – how he made the golem.
“The peacefully prone figure twitched, its body became erect with the energy its creator had placed in it, and what before had been lifeless was now alive. The golem, without father or mother, was thus born, made only as a copy of a man. Over the golem the rabbi tossed a servant’s cloak that he had brought with him, and gave him the name Joseph.”
