This is a historical memoir by the legendary Sokol Marie Provazníková, who documented the role the Sokol movement played in gymnastics, culture, and the democratic values of the Czech people from the first decade of the nineteenth century to 1948.
The memoir offers a detailed account of the struggles of the Czech people during their lives under the Austrian and Austrian-Hungarian Empires, World War I, and then under oppression by the Nazis during World War II,
and the Communist coup in 1948. Provazníková, an official in the Czech Sokol organization and the International Gymnastics Federation, was personally involved in all of the historic events detailed in her book.
