Eduard Štorch, the Mammoth Hunter (2023)
Eduard Štorch (1878–1956) was the first Czech writer and one of the first in the world to set his stories in prehistory. It's quite ironic that he himself considered his books set in the Stone Age and Bronze Age to be mere accessories to his calling in life as a professional teacher. His new concepts for educating a new generation and of teaching history were completely groundbreaking. He made his idea of a healthy and natural lifestyle a reality on the island of Libeň in Prague, where he built his Children's Farm and taught children how to live and cooperate with nature.
