The bloated content in 10 stands, sorry for the chapters, but a bunch of interesting facts, historical facts, photo stories and illustrated instructions are a guarantee that it will again be more of an archive piece than a practical guide. With a size of 280×215 mm, it will stand out on every shelf.

But how not to heroize and glorify, nor to create a caricature and cliché, but to capture the carrier community in the variety of opinions, personalities, and personalities? Include stories, but not bury yourself in nostalgia, and airily talk about what constitutes the essence of carrier?

We went to the hills and valleys to find out. Porters, cabin girls and leaders let us into the "kitchen". We listened, we got up in the dark, we accompanied them on take-outs, lay-downs and in civilian clothes.

With consent and willingness, we did what should not be done - ask the porters anything during the delivery - and thus caused the longest delivery in the history of the Tatras. Sorry Pista ;)
