About

Matěj Brouček really just wants one thing: to be left in peace. The world is too loud, too complicated, too exhausting. He would rather retreat into the safety of his own four walls. But life has other plans: Brouček is torn from his comfort zone – first catapulted to the moon, then thrown into 15th-century Prague. Grotesque societies, bizarre trials await him, and a past that feels surprisingly contemporary. But do these journeys change him at all – or does he remain the same person after all?
