The book has become popular in the Czech subconscious and copies of it are handed down from generation to generation. It depicts a dream of childhood which the most significant Czech author of all time dreamt up at a time when she was going through one of the worst moments of her life. The character of the grandmother has become an archetype with whom is linked an idyllic idea of rural life where a person is in harmony with himself, with his close friends and family and with nature and its cycles.

The National Theatre is one of the most important Czech cultural institutions and has a rich artistic tradition, which helped to maintain and develop the Czech language and Czech musical and dramatic arts. The construction of the National Theatre building was financed by contributions from the public and the ceremonial laying of the foundation stone in 1868 became a national event. The theatre's repertoire is based on a rich classical tradition, but also focuses on contemporary domestic authors and draws on modern global trends. The current National Theatre is made up of three artistic companies - opera, drama and ballet.
