About The Book
The ‘golden’ city of Europe still unspoiled Built on the banks of the meandering river Moldau, Prague has for centuries been an inspiration to artists and writers, inhabitants and visitors, many of whom have declared the ‘hundred-towered’ city to be one of the most beautiful in the world, though one with a turbulent history. Jan Kaplan’s selection from letters, diaries, memoirs and anecdotes brilliantly evokes both the city’s exhilarating creative power, so impressively visible in its buildings and art treasures, and the many tragic events played out in its streets through the centuries.Here are eye-witness accounts of the sermons of Jan Hus, Czech forerunner of the German Reformation, the Defenestrations of Prague, beginning in 1419, the premiere night of Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni in 1787, and the invasions and political upheavals of the 20th century.
