The story of Michal Mácha illustrates the life of Karel Hynek Mácha’s family. The paper recalls the almost forgotten and unappreciated efforts of the miller’s journeyman Michal to preserve his brother’s work. It attempts to show the fate of a man living in straitened circumstances in the middle of the 19th century.
