The story behind this edition<\/b><\/p>\n
First published in 1911, J\u00falius Bodn\u00e1r\u2019s Myjava became more than a local chronicle \u2013 it was a monument to the life and culture of an entire region. With a historian\u2019s precision and a storyteller\u2019s heart, Bodn\u00e1r preserved the songs, customs and everyday rhythms of the Kopanice people. This new edition revives his masterpiece more than a century later, as a tribute to the author and to the belief that our roots matter only when we keep them alive. It appears alongside the renewed Myjavsk\u00e1 Slivovica \u2013 both born from the same idea: that the past still speaks to us, and that tradition lives on when we choose to remember it.<\/p>\n

Honouring the makers<\/b><\/p>\n
This edition pays tribute to two men of courage and vision: J\u00falius Bodn\u00e1r, who gave Myjava its written soul, and Daniel Pa\u017eick\u00fd, the local printer who dared to publish such a monumental work in 1911. Their faith in the power of words and in the value of culture continues to resonate today. The new edition was created out of respect for their legacy \u2013 not as nostalgia, but as a quiet reminder that the stories of the past still shape who we are.<\/p>\n

Design and craftsmanship<\/b><\/p>\n
The design draws on the spirit of the original Art Nouveau aesthetic while embracing clarity and refinement for today\u2019s reader. Created by Eduard Timko (Ateli\u00e9r EDO, s.r.o.) and printed by Kasico a.s., Bratislava, the book reflects meticulous craftsmanship and enduring elegance. It stays true to its origins yet feels fresh and timeless \u2013 a bridge between past and present, between memory and rediscovery.<\/p>\n
