Book about a Man's Experience in the Slovak Republic Teaching English. FREE!

I hope that at least one other person is interested in the subject of this book. I find the subject of the experience of post-communist countries after the breakup of the Soviet Union to be a fascinating one.

The author took a job teaching English in the Slovak Republic (previously part of Czechslovakia) just three years after the Berlin Wall came down. This book is about what he experienced, and what he learned, there.

I wouldn't post a book just because I liked the subject matter, however. I'm posting this one just as much because the ratings are through the roof. Amazon reviewers give it a 4.9-star (16) average, while the average rating at GoodReads is 4.58 (12). This is all the more remarkable because the book is a self-pub, indie, or somethingoranother like that (it's from a company called "Bloomsbury Media").

And, no, I don't have any idea what banana peels on tracks has to do with the content of the book. We'll just have to read to find out, I suppose.

According to the publisher, the book will remain free through September 6.

Banana Peels on the Tracks: Coming of Age in Post-Communist Slovakia. Rated 4.9 stars, but from only 16 reviews at the present moment; rated 4.58, from from only 12 reviews at GoodReads at the present moment. Print list price $12.00; digital list price $4.49; Kindle price $0.00. Bloomwood Media, publisher. 277 pages. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013TXJ2T4.

Book Description
He had a car, an apartment and a decent job, but he was bored.

Then he saw an ad in an online forum: Teach English in Czechoslovakia.

The year was 1991 and he thought: why not? So he applied and received his acceptance letter months later.

In the autumn of 1992, just three years after the Berlin Wall came down, Jason Lockwood arrived in the Slovak Republic to teach English for a year. He went with few expectations and too much luggage. What he found was a torn country grasping at new beginnings, struggling to recover from decades of oppression and dictatorship.

In this memoir, Jason Lockwood brings back for Western audiences a snapshot of an historic period in a far-off country, and offers prescriptions not only for that world, but for our own, too.
