What are human rights? What are their historical roots? And what do they mean for a person in the 21st century?

Fourteen Czech writers were inspired by reading the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and created an original collection of thirty stories that reflect all thirty articles of this key document of the 20th century in a unique way. The stories are followed by a short reflection on the future of not only human rights. The variety of texts is complemented by the work of thirty-one illustrators who accompany the individual texts.

The Declaration project also contains a set of interviews (podcasts) with the philosopher Daniel Kroupa, which offers readers a deeper insight into human rights issues. In the final debate, together with him, Tomáš Sedláček and Klára Laurenčíková also reflect on the future of human rights. Readers can listen to all interviews after scanning individual QR codes in the book. The Czech version of the declaration was spoken by Monika Načeva.

The book offers (not only adults) the opportunity to look at the Universal Declaration of Human Rights from different perspectives and at the same time leads to reflection on what human rights mean for us.
