Prague : a guide to the Golden City

Meer over het boek

"Franz Kafka was Prague and Prague was Franz Kafka," wrote Johannes Urzidil. Following the traces of Kafka's life leads directly to the heart of the ancient royal seat on the Vltava River. Every fiber of Kafka's being was rooted in the soil of Prague, and everywhere in his works, the city and its people shine between the lines. This compact guide invites readers into Kafka's world. It teaches you to see Prague as Kafka saw it. Filled with concise texts and more than 150 historical illustrations, this guide has become a classic of Prague in its own right: always updated, it has been the standard reference for those willing to be guided and carried away by the writer Franz Kafka and by Golden Prague from about a hundred years ago. An incredible treasure of historical political events, cultural history, and quotes from Kafka's works unfolds as Harald Salfellner begins to narrate.
