Having entered a new career as a \u003cem\u003ebona fide \u003c\/em\u003enon-fiction author, he has since published eleven monographs, including a 3-volume \u003cem\u003eEncyclopedia of Bohemian and Czech-American Biography\u003c\/em\u003e of 2538 pages, plus three reference books in the Czech language, would hardly qualify him for the Over the Hill category. Rechcigl's broad interests, which are especially reflected in his approaches to Czech and Slovak ethnic history and which approach almost renaissance proportions, are mind-boggling. Apart from a retrospective look of his work and activities, and some 'Unforgettable Characters' he met, this Memoir also provides intriguing glimpses of and penetrating insights to the life of the Czechoslovak exile and display his keen and luminous perceptions of the leading Czech and Slovak personalities abroad, as well as in the 'old country.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mila Rechcigl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1964362113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781964362113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authors' Tranquility Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 2.31d","brand":"Mila Rechcigl","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46094365950207,"sku":"9781964362113","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_935069e6-6a6f-4aaa-bdf4-c3c3cfe550d0.jpg?v=1724844445","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-sequel-to-czechmate-mila-rechcigl-9781964362113","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
