In his prose, Petr Stančík originally tackles the Protectorate urban legend of a superhero resisting the Nazis, offering a brilliant combination of a thrilling story, historical lessons, and a precisely measured dose of humour. Are Tibetan monks levitating a flying saucer? How does an apocalyptic New Year's Eve with edible furniture at Hermann Göring's place end? Is Heydrich's assassination a conspiracy by Freemasons? Why does the rocket-powered Valkyrie carry magic eyes in her bosom? Will they succeed in destroying the armoured tram, Feuerwanze? Did Adolf Hitler paint a cubist picture? All these questions are answered by Franta Pérák, the only superman in Czech history. The Germans will pay for it. The story in the book is complemented by stylish illustrations and both textual and visual accompaniments – period leaflets, advertisements, weapon diagrams, biographical notes, etc.
