JUDr. VOJTECH ZAMAROVSKY
bol vyznamny spisovatel, prekladatel, historik, cestovatel, popularizator historie a archeologie.
* ZIVOT A DIELO:
.....Narodil sa 5.10.1919 v Trencine. Pochadzal zo stareho zemianskeho rodu Zamarovskych, z rodiny kominarskeho majstra, cinovnika zivnostenskeho spolku a podnikatela. Vo svojom rodisku navstevoval zakladnu skolu a gymnazium, na ktorom odmaturoval v roku 1938. Nasledne dosiahol obchodne a pravnicke vysokoskolske vzdelanie. Po ukonceni studia zacal pracovat v oblasti bankovnictva, ako odbornik financnej a menovej politiky v roznych hospodarskych i statnych organoch v Bratislave a Prahe. Zaroven prednasal na viacerych vysokych skolach. Po politickych cistkach v patdesiatych rokoch sa zacal v prazskom vydavatelstve venovat prekladatelskej praci na odbornych textoch i beletrii a od zaciatku sestdesiatych rokov sa uz naplno venoval vyskumu historie a vlastnej literarnej tvorbe.
.....V mladosti sa sice aktivne venoval letectvu, jeho kariera sa vsak rozvijala inym smerom. Uz od utleho detstva ho vyrazne ovplyvnovala blizkost Trencianskeho hradu so vsetkymi jeho historickymi skvostami. Podrobne sa zaujimal o staroveke dejiny, umenie, literaturu, poeziu ci filozofiu. Svoje vlastne knihy o historii zacal pisat az ako styridsiatnik, vediac, ze cestu do hlbin historie k starovekym zakladom civilizacie je treba najskor dokladne prejst a prestudovat. Osobne poznaval kulturne pamiatky v najvyznamnejsich svetovych muzeach, stretaval sa s renomovanymi vedcami i archeologmi priamo na historickych miestach, absolvoval studijne pobyty v krajinach, kde sa historia pisala - od Grecka, Talianska, Egypta az po uzemie starej Mezopotamie.
.....Postupne pribudali jeho naucne diela o starovekych kulturach, cim dal podnet na vznik noveho zanru v slovenskej literature - literatury faktu. Venoval sa opisu vzniku historickych architektonickych a umeleckych pamiatok, starovekej mytologii, historii objavov i zivotnym osudom archeologov. Knihy pisal tak, aby boli nielen faktograficky presne, ale aby citatelov zaujali putavym pribehom a boli aj zrozumitelne - snazil sa spojit vedecky pristup s umeleckym podanim. Vyzadovalo si to od neho velke odhodlanie a nasadenie, vytrvalost a trpezlivost.
.....Okrem vlastnej tvorby sa venoval aj prekladom z anglictiny, francuzstiny, nemciny i latinciny. Zurocil tak svoju znalost piatich svetovych jazykov. Spolupracoval tiez na takmer styridsiatich filmovych a televiznych dokumentoch a viac ako patdesiatich rozhlasovych pasmach s tematikou staroveku.
.....Za svoju pracu ziskal mnozstvo domacich aj zahranicnych oceneni. Medzi najvyznamnejsie patria Pribinov kriz I.triedy, Zlate kruhy Slovenskeho olympijskeho vyboru, cestny titul Velvyslanec helenizmu (udeleny v roku 2006 prefekturou Aten za sirenie myslienok helenizmu v celej Europe), statne vyznamenanie Rad Ludovita Stura I.triedy (in memoriam v roku 2006 za mimoriadne vyznamne zasluhy o rozvoj kultury a sirenie dobreho mena Slovenska v zahranici). Velku vaznost ma taktiez u samotnych Grekov - priamo v Olympii mu umiestnili pamatnu tabulu, jeho kniha „Bohovia a hrdinovia antickych baji“ vysla aj v grectine a vyuziva sa v tamojsom vzdelavacom procese.
.....Zil v stredoceskej obci Soutice a potom v Prahe. Na sklonku zivota trpel Parkinsonovou chorobou, napriek tomu bol huzevnaty a stale sa snazil byt aktivny. Zomrel 26.7.2006 a pochovany je na cintorine v Souticiach.
* LITERARNA TVORBA:
.....Vojtech Zamarovsky napisal 14 knih, ktore boli prelozene do patnastich svetovych jazykov a vysli v celkovom naklade viac ako dva miliony vytlackov. Stal sa v zahranici najvydavanejsim slovenskym autorom. Jeho tvorba je najznamejsim popularno-naucnym dielom o starovekej historii v slovenskom i ceskom jazyku. Da sa rozdelit do niekolkych tematickych okruhov - historicky vyvoj jednotlivych civilizacii a narodov (najma starych Grekov), mytologia, klasicke staroveke literarne diela, architektonicke pamiatky:
1960 - „Za siedmimi divmi sveta“ (opis starovekych kultur a ich najvyznamnejsich pamiatok; doplnene vydanie vyslo v roku 1985)
1961 - „Za tajomstvom rise Chetitov“ (historia jedneho z prvych, najzahadnejsich a najmocnejsich narodov staroveku; pocta Bedrichovi Hroznemu, ktory rozlustil chetitske pismo; slovenska verzia vysla v roku 1963)
1962 - „Objavenie Troje“ (dejiny archeologickych vykopavok vedenych Heinrichom Schliemannom a vysvetlenie starogreckej epiky a mytologie)
1966 - „Na pociatku bol Sumer“ (dejiny jedneho z najstarsich narodov Mezopotamie; doplnene vydanie vyslo v roku 1984)
1969 - „Bohovia a hrdinovia antickych baji“ (naucny slovnik antickej mytologie; doplnene vydanie vyslo v roku 1980)
1971 - „Dejiny pisane Rimom“ (historia Rimskej rise)
1974 - „Grecky zazrak“ (dejiny kultury a odkazu starovekeho Grecka)
1975 - „Gilgames“ (literarne spracovanie sumerskeho eposu)
1977 - „Ich Velicenstva Pyramidy“ (historia starovekeho Egypta)
1978 - „Vzkriesenie Olympie“ (vznik a priebeh davnovekych Olympijskych hier)
1981 - „Aeneas“ (spracovanie eposu od Vergilia Mara)
1986 - „Bohovia a krali stareho Egypta“ (encyklopedia egyptskych dejin a mytologie)
1987 - „Sinuhet“ (prerozpravanie klasickeho diela egyptskej literatury)
1992 - „Navrat do staroveku (Po stopach vlastnych knih)“ (autor mapuje svoje dielo; textovo-obrazova publikacia, ktorej zamerom je ukazat sirku a hlbku starovekych zakladov dnesnej europskej kultury a civilizacie)
.....V rokoch 1999 az 2004 vyslo suborne dielo Vojtecha Zamarovskeho v jednotnej uprave, bohato ilustrovane, doplnene mapkami a schemami. Knihy boli precizne zrevidovane a aktualizovane, co autor povazoval za naplnenie svojich spisovatelskych ambicii - do novych vydani mohol slobodne vlozit vsetko, co predtym publikovat nesmel a vypustil z nich pasaze, pridane cudzimi zasahmi.
.....Jeho spisovatelske sny - napisat slovnik „Kto bol kto v antike“ a dokoncit knihu „Poklady v udoli kralov“ o vrcholnom obdobi moci a slavy Egypta - vsak uz zostali nenaplnene.
* ZAMAROVSKY A TRENCIN:
.....Hoci zo svojho rodiska odisiel po druhej svetovej vojne a vacsinu aktivneho zivota prezil mimo neho, s Trencinom stale zostal uzko spaty nielen prostrednictvom priatelov, ale aj cez bohatu historiu mesta. V roku 1994 mu bol udeleny titul „Cestny obcan mesta Trencin“.
.....Spisovatelov rodny dom dodnes stoji v ulicke pod Trencianskym hradom. Od roku 1980 v nom sidli sukromna firma s dielnou na vyrobu replik keramiky z roznych historickych obdobi. V roku 2005 bola na dom umiestnena bronzova pamatna tabula a vo vnutri zriadena Pamatna izba.
.....„Klub priatelov Vojtecha Zamarovskeho“, ktory v meste posobi od roku 1997, sa podielal aj na vybudovani „Muzea antiky Vojtecha Zamarovskeho“ v roku 2001. Muzeum uchovava kopie vyznamnych antickych a egyptskych artefaktov (niektore venovane priamo greckou vladou), spisovatelovu kniznicu i niekolko jeho osobnych veci a snazi sa priblizovat dejiny antiky verejnosti. Do roku 2010 sidlilo v historickom centre Trencina, kde malo plany na rozsirenie a zatraktivnenie svojej cinnosti, mesto vsak budovu predalo do sukromneho vlastnictva, a tak muzeum v sucasnosti ziadne stale sidlo nema...
.....Od roku 2007 sa v Trencine nachadza aj „Ulica Vojtecha Zamarovskeho“, v meste vsak nestoji ziadna socha ani busta venovana tejto vyznamnej osobnosti.
Aktualizacia:
V ramci projektu „Lavicky osobnosti mesta Trencin“ bola v decembri 2012 pri rodnom dome V.Zamarovskeho umiestnena umelecky spracovana lavicka. Zaroven v sucasnosti prebieha priprava otvorenia Muzea V.Zamarovskeho, ktore bude sidlit v starobylej kurii v Zamarovciach nedaleko Trencina.

ZASTAVKA PRVA je na rozcesti uliciek v podhradi, odkial je zaujimavy po(d)hlad na Trenciansky hrad. Ked stojite celom k hradu, smerom doprava vedie ulica, ktorej nazov zistite z bielej tabulky s modrymi pismenami umiestenej na mure. Zratajte vsetky pismena na tabulke a ziskate indiciu (A).
(ak sa tam vyskytuju dvojhlasky „ia“, „ie“, „iu“ alebo pismeno „ch“, pocitajte ich ako 2 pismena!)
ZASTAVKA DRUHA je pri rodnom dome Vojtecha Zamarovskeho.
Na kamennej cesticke pred domom je vytvorena biela okruhla mozaika - ked zistite, co zobrazuje, zapiste si prislusnu hodnotu ako indiciu (B):
pyramida = 1, grecky napis = 2, otvorena kniha = 3, hlava muza = 4, mytologicky lietajuci kon = 5.
Na dome sa nachadza bronzova pamatna tabula; ked urobite sucet vsetkych cislic, ktore su na nej napisane, dostanete dvojciferne cislo - indiciu (C).
Pre zistenie indicie (D) musite urcit, aku ma v sucasnosti tento dom farbu; je to odtien:
zltej = 1, cervenej = 2, modrej = 3, zelenej = 4, fialovej = 5.
FINAL mozete najst, ak si jeho suradnice vypocitate z nasledujucich vzorcov:
N 48°53.x
E 018°02.y
x = A*(B+C)-(D*A)+(B*C/D)
y = (A+B)*(C/D)+A-(B/C*5)+D
Upozornenie:
Na trase budete mat problemy s kvalitou signalu, pocitajte s mensou presnostou zameriavania. Na finali radsej pouzite hinty. Kesku neukladajte na ine miesta, prosime o jej dokladne zamaskovanie. Pozor na muklov. Prosime, vo svojich logoch nespoilujte.

>>>>> THE CACHE <<<<<
The cache is not at the posted coordinates!
STAGE ONE is at the crossroads under the castle, from where is an interesting view at Trencin Castle. When you are standing here and looking at the castle, one of the streets goes to the right side. You can find the name of this street on the white board with blue letters placed on the wall. You have to count all the letters on the board and you get (A) item.
(note: street = ulica)
STAGE TWO is the native house of Vojtech Zamarovsky.
On the pavement front of the house a white round mosaic is created - if you find out the picture on the mosaic, you can write the relevant value as (B) item:
the pyramid = 1, Greek inscription = 2, an open book = 3, man’s head = 4, mythological flying horse = 5.
On the house a bronze memorial plaque is placed. When you make the sum of all numerals written on it, you get two-digit number - (C) item.
To find (D) item, you must determine the current color of the house. It is a shade of:
yellow = 1, red = 2, blue = 3, green = 4, violet = 5.
You can find the FINAL, if you calculate the coordinates using the following formulas:
N 48°53.x
E 018°02.y
x = A*(B+C)-(D*A)+(B*C/D)
y = (A+B)*(C/D)+A-(B/C*5)+D
