Prague, Capital of the Twentieth Century

A Surrealist History

Übersetzung: Frisch, Shelley

Beschreibung

In this sequel to his acclaimed Coasts of Bohemia, Derek Sayer argues that Prague could well be seen as the capital of the much darker twentieth century. Ranging across twentieth-century Prague's astonishingly vibrant and always surprising human landscape, this richly illustrated cultural history describes how the city has experienced (and suffered) more ways of being modern than perhaps any other metropolis.
