The lavish publication by the author duo Liebscher and Rendek is the result of the last five years, during which the authors traveled around Czech ponds and personally participated in countless fish harvests. They flew dozens of hours in an airplane while taking aerial photographs, sifted through archives, searched for stories of ponds and pond keepers, and listened to the tales of witnesses. Using a selected sample of hundreds of Czech ponds, they attempt to approach the phenomenon of the Czech pond as a significant landscape element, a source of livelihood, a romantic place that has witnessed history and serves as the backdrop for many legends and myths.
