This monography maps in detail the life and work of this incredible, but at the same time, almost forgotten personality.

The publication is full of Plicka´s personal photographs, photographs of the artist whilst working, the correspondence, manuscripts, musical notations, memoirs of his relatives and photographs from the Plicka´s family album. Karol Plicka died in 1987 in Prague, Czech Republic, and left us with a rich body of work - 40,000 musical notations of folk songs, thousands of negatives from Slovakia, Romania, Yugoslavia, Austria and the United States, four full-length films and a few short films, tens of picture publications.
