Falcon’s Rise: Sport and Politics in the Czech Lands (1861-1871)
View through CrossRef
The book delves into two interconnected topics: the early spread of the Sokol (Czech for a “falcon”) movement in the so-called Czech lands and the formation of the Sokol culture. The Sokol movement, inspired by the German Turners, was formed by members of voluntary clubs that blended broadly understood gymnastics with the adherence to the nationalist ideology. The culture shared by the Sokols encompassed various practices, ideas, symbols, and physical objects.
