Kladenske povidky = Kladno tales

"Kladno Tales" (Kladenske Povidky) is a collection of short essays taken from the views and experiences of an American high school English teacher living in the town of Kladno, a former industrial town located 20km from Prague in the Czech Republic. He writes about local people and places as well as about his teaching experience and his relationships with the students. Kladno Tales is very entertaining light reading which gives the reader an idea of what it's like for a man to integrate into a foreign society, become accepted as a local and after some time feel more at home in the foreign society than in the one he grew up with.
