How I Came to Know Fish (1974) è il magico memoir di Ota Pavel sulla sua infanzia in Cecoslovacchia. Pescando con suo padre e suo zio Prosek, i due migliori pescatori del mondo, trae un pacifico piacere dai fiumi e dagli stagni del suo paese. Ma quando i nazisti invadono, suo padre e due fratelli maggiori vengono mandati nei campi di concentramento e Pavel deve rubare il pesce confiscato da sotto il naso delle SS per sfamare la sua famiglia. Con racconti della lotta del padre per provvedere alla sua famiglia sia nella libertà opulenta che nella terrificante persecuzione, questo è il racconto appassionato e toccante di un ragazzo sulla vita, l'amore e la pesca.
