CZECHIA 2026

Get ready for a major literary moment as we kick off Czechia's 2026 book fair appearance with a special evening featuring Kateřina Tučková, one of the most significant voices in contemporary Czech literature. Her acclaimed debut novel, “Gerta. Das deutsche Mädchen” – now released as “Gerta und die Welt am Abgrund” and adapted into a two-part ARTE TV production – tells the powerful story of Gerta growing up in Brno with a Czech mother and a German father, an ardent Hitler supporter, against the backdrop of a crumbling society. Join us for a fascinating insight into a truly impactful work and its journey to the screen.
