Editor's Note:
Vydejte se proti proudu času do světa, který byl lecjaký, jen ne černobílý. Retro ČS 2 navazuje na stejnojmennou úspěšnou publikaci, která získala také řadu významných ocenění. Zatímco „jednička“ se věnovala tzv. měkkému konzumu, tedy zboží rychlé spotřeby, „dvojka“ patří konzumu „tvrdému“ – odívání, obouvání, bydlení, elektronice. Prohrabejte spolu s autorem po letech znovu svou školní aktovku, oblečte své vysněné džíny z Tuzexu, pořiďte první nahrávku na vytoužený kazetový magnetofon. A pokud jste nic z toho nezažili, nahlédněte alespoň do života svých rodičů či prarodičů. Kniha výborně doplní rodinná alba, protože se opírá o bohatství autorova osobního obrazového archivu, který patří k nejrozsáhlejším u nás.

Indulge in the ultimate literary experience. We've refined the way you discover and access Retro ČS 2 - Jak jsme si to (u)žili za reálného socialismu by Michal Petrov. Crafted for the discerning reader.

Experience across all your premium devices with our high-fidelity digital format. Featuring cinematic typography, fluid layouts, and flawless rendering for an unparalleled reading session.
