An extraordinary little girl carries the daunting burden of understanding the world. Her father, a maverick left-wing intellectual, and her mother, a neurotic actress from an ancient farming family, both struggle as outsiders in post-World War II socialist Eastern Europe. The story unfolds with interesting, cruel, and absurd events that evoke laughter and sympathy. The original Czech language, complex and multi-layered, blends rural dialects, communist newspeak, theatrical jargon, and proletarian slang, elevated by philosophical thought and poetic associations. This English translation of the second volume of Dr. Olga Walló's autobiographical novel trilogy ("The Tower of the Holy Spirit") is poised to captivate international readers and deepen their understanding of Czech history and culture.

The theme of this book is "loss". Can dreams and the subconscious reveal your destiny? Can destiny be reversed and altered? In different religions or mysticisms, dream cultivation is unanimously regarded as a secret window to one’s life. In the images presented in dreams, we can understand the unique trajectory of our life, as it traces our progress and setbacks. Some pains are particularly difficult to endure in life, such as misfortunes, loneliness, obsessions and emotions we cannot let go, are imprinted by marks of our own subconscious, family ties, and the roadmap of our destiny. In dreams where we get lost, or where we fail to reach a certain place, people tend to interpret them as "the way ahead that is blocked". But therapists interpret them as "obsessions in vain". Although the pain and longing in our hearts accompany us as we move forward, in the face of certain important moments in life, such as illness, unemployment, bereavement, heartbreak, immigration, and other changes, these imprints in our subconscious often emerge. If we can face them positively and resolve them, we can transform our lives, and give our life journey a brighter future. Hopefully, the stories in this book can provide useful references for those who are facing losses or feel lost.
