SUMMARY:Viktorie Hanišová: The Mushroom Gatherer
DESCRIPTION:Why do Czechs love mushrooms so much? And what happens when the forest becomes a refuge from the rest of the world? Join acclaimed Czech novelist Viktorie Hanišová to celebrate the English-language publication of The Mushroom Gatherer (Houbařka)\, a compelling novel of solitude\, family\, memory and the longing for human connection.\n\nDeep in the Bohemian Forest\, Sára lives a life of her own making. For seven years\, she has followed the same woodland paths\, gathering mushrooms to sell and keeping the rest of the world at a safe distance. Her days are quiet\, solitary and meticulously ordered – until the death of her mother begins to unsettle everything she has tried to leave behind.\n\nAs Sára sorts through her baskets of chanterelles and boletes\, she is also forced to confront the memories\, wounds and complicated family ties that have shaped her life. The forest offers her freedom and refuge\, but it also becomes the place where the past catches up with her.\n\nIn conversation\, Hanišová will explore the novel’s themes of isolation\, vulnerability\, family and trauma\, as well as the distinctly Czech passion for mushroom picking.\n\nViktorie Hanišová is a Czech novelist\, translator\, and teacher\, widely regarded as one of the most distinctive voices of her generation. She studied English and German at Charles University in Prague and debuted in 2015 with the novel Anežka. Her subsequent books include The Mushroom Gatherer (as Houbařka\, 2018)\, Rekonstrukce (2019)\, the short story collection Dlouhá trať (2020)\, Beton a hlína (2021)\, and the novel Neděle odpoledne (2022). Her political novella Tvůj táta je v ohni is forthcoming in 2026.\n\nViktorie Hanišová\, The Mushroom Gatherer\, translated by Véronique Firkusny\, Seagull Books\, 2025\, 300p\n\nAdmission: £5 (+ Eventbrite fee)\n\nThis event is part of the 30th Made in Prague Festival organised by Czech Centre London

SUMMARY:The Uses of Oppression: Greek Newspapers in the Ottoman Empire 1830-62
DESCRIPTION:Marina Sakali\, Lady Marks\, discusses her book The Uses of Oppression\, with Dr Şükrü Ilıcak (Αssociate Professor\, University of Athens)\, following the development of the Ottoman Greek press from its birth in 1830 until 1862\, employing the vivid reflections of its editors\, correspondents\, advertisers\, commentators\, and readers as a lens through which to view the everyday lives of this generation of Ottoman Greeks.  \n\nDuring the middle decades of the 19th century\, a generation of Ottoman Greeks was caught up in radical social and political changes\, including the period of reforms known as Tanzimat.
