✍️I am a studied historian, yet I know that textbook history rarely mattered to real people.
Thus, I tell the essential stories.

There are stories of things that changed everything, yet we take them for granted, not realizing that our civilization would fall apart without them.

Like electricity, cars, effective treatment of diseases, or afterbirth childcare.

But first and foremost, I know history is fun. Because the stories that mattered rattle our minds and read better than the textbooks!

Thus, I strive to give voice to people of the past, to show you their minds so that they win your hearts.

If you want to understand the history of today's Israel 🕍, this is a must-read.
It is a novel, but it captures all parts of the conflict's mentality, psychology, and essence.

“The role of science is not to serve the demands of the moment and provide easy answers when society demands them. Its purpose remains today, as it was a century ago, to challenge clear-cut solutions and to ask troubling questions.”
Barbora Jiřincová, Mariánský sloup na Staroměstském náměstí v Praze

“People are people, and people obviously love their wars.”
Barbora Jiřincová, Slavic Ancient Origins: Stories Of People & Civilization

“Arguably, it is a possibility, not a certainty, that makes history fascinating.”
