With memories of his childhood in the family of a dissident persecuted by communists and his youth spent in the company of the Czechoslovak intellectual elite, he approaches the events that shaped Slovakia. With the perfectly prepared Jan Strasser, they also remember the year 1968, normalization, the background of the Gentle Revolution and the disintegration of Czechoslovakia, the years of swordsmanship and Fico's rule, and finally the two years of the pandemic and the rule of Igor Matovic. The last chapter is devoted to the parliamentary elections in 2023. It is not just a book about Martin M. Simecek, but a book about a country that, despite its rich experience with totalitarian regimes, is once again standing at a crossroads and pondering which direction to take. Martin M. Simecek receives many attributes. He is known as one of the most prominent Slovak intellectuals, but also as a writer, dissident, journalist, editor, commentator, runner, traveler, wanderer. He says he was a banned author even before he wrote his first book.
