Sample text

Anybody seeking sunshine must move daily from east to west through the gate in the wall. Seeking shade, they will pass in the opposite direction. By comparison, a wall facing north and south will accentuate a seasonal rhythm. Summer shadows at midday will be small, having shrunk through the spring to a thin ribbon at the base of the north side. Winter shadows will grow northward during the fall before cycling back toward the wall throughout the spring. Clearly there is a problem with finding a cool shady place to sit in summer; and if the wall overshadows our garden in winter, there may be a problem finding a warm sunny place as well.

Others track hardly any distance at all through different rooms of a house. Regardless of distance, migrations tend to follow days and seasons. It may be argued that moving about for comfort does not really change the boundaries of space. Yet shifting our position carries us through doorways and around objects, changing our perceptions of space. We may move to a shady porch, descend to a cool lower floor, or leave the house entirely and go out under the trees on a warm summer afternoon. In winter, we may go upstairs for the rising heat or gather close to a fireplace.

Slovaks, of course, understand the forfeitures of life in Petrzalka, and those who can afford it take traditional actions to make up for them. It is estimated that 40 percent of Bratislava’s apartment dwellers, including those in Petrzalka, migrate to dachas in foothills north of the city. These cottages, often only one room, are nearly always in a garden. Here, the family tradition of planting, tending, and harvesting fresh fruits and vegetables from their own garden is sustained and bestowed upon children.
