About Jan
"A hundred-year-old piano placed in my childhood room developed a strong sense for harmony in me and apparently started my longing for art. Today, the main driver for my own creations is the fight between harmony and chaos, the search for the ultimate equilibrium."

Burden of Knowledge Collector's Edition (Czech)

A journey through the visible and the unseen, where every story becomes a dialogue between humanity and the infinite.

In this thought-provoking collection of thirty short stories, Jan's book explores the tension between chaos and order, deconstruction and rebirth, silence and the questions that stir beneath it. Drawing inspiration from the cosmos, spirituality, politics, and human relationships—as well as from his own multifaceted journey through music, law, marketing, and technology—Edlman crafts narratives that challenge perception and awaken curiosity.

The stories delve into the weight of knowledge, the existence of realms beyond the perceptible, and the archetypal figures of myth and memory—a woman with an apple, an old man who could be either God or the Devil. These are not tales offering easy answers. Instead, they invite readers to question, reflect, and assemble their own vision of reality.

Much like his visual art, where geometric forms seek harmony, Edlman’s writing seeks balance between the abstract and the intimate, confronting the reader with a literary experience that resonates long after the final page.

This is the extra limited collector's edition with an original serigraphy of the art used inside the book (Fragmented Thoughts - Selfportrait, 50x50 cm)

  • The book with golden page edges, numbered (1-5 of 5), signed with personalised inscription
  • Fragmented Thoughts - Selfportrait, 50x50 cm serigraphy, signed and numbered
  • Certificate of Authenticity for the serigraphy
  • Certificate of Authenticity for the book
