Malomocná/Trędowata/A Leprous Girl

 Hlavní postavou "Malomocné" je Štěpánka Rudecká, která po zklamání z první lásky potká knížete Valdemara, setkává se nepochopením aristokracie. Avšak po nalezení deníku její babičky se dovídá strašnou skutečnost a vše, co dosud vybudovala je nejisté. I přesto, že si Štěpánka dokáže část polské šlechty získat, neznamená to, že všichni budou na její straně. Setkává se s nesouhlasem  i přesto, že s knížetem Valdemarem mají již před svatbou, onemocní a následně své nemoci podlehne.Po její smrti o něj stojí mnoho šlechtičen, jeho srdce však vždy bude patřit Štěpánce a panství daruje synovci. Je to tragický příběh, melancholický, a člověk ho čte po celou dobu zarmoucen. Dlouho po přečtení zůstává stále v mysli. Myslím, že se v antikvariátech dá sehnat za pár korun a je lepší než některé trháky, které každý zná.

(The main character of this movie/book is Štěpánka Rudecká. After her first disappointment in love, she found new love, Duke  Valdemar. It is not tipical romantic fairy tale full of sweet kitsch things. Really no!!! All story is full of melancholy from the start to the end. And end is not happy. I had to think about story a lot and i was sad too (i dunno why i read it when i was on trip in Spanish...it made me sad all my vocation beee :-( )In book every is againts this love between Valdemar and Štěpánka..destiny and polish nobility. And when it looked like that they will be together, she died and he stayed alone all his life....it is not so famous but books are cheap and u can find in in antique shoop (i don't think that u will find it in new bookstore)

 Preferuji černo-bílou filmovou verzi z roku 1936 než novější z 1976, jedno se ale té novější verzi musí nechat, soundtrack ♥ 
I prefer black-white version from 1936 more than version from 1976 (from this i love OST)

Osudem prokletá/ Gehenna

This story is so similar but still difirent, similar in sadness. the main female actor is raised by one man, which u can call father but when she grew up, he changed. She fell in love when one young man but he died (that why in video she crying). In this story it was poor young man who was againt nobility and gave up and died. one of the biggest obstacle was her stepfather. This story is more fulled by pain than first one. Here after his death she will find someone, where she thought that she can forget on first love, but it was mistake and new husband will want only her money and grounds and she fell to misery and bigger loneliness ( i think that people with depression should not read it rather haha...)
