The book of Prague

A unique collection of ten of the city’s most important authors (several of them previously untranslated), we see the city in a completely new light. Away from the Old Town Square and the winding Vltava River, these stories take us into less-visited corners of Prague: from the steep streets of edgy neighbourhoods, to the flood-ravished suburb of Karln, from the tensions experienced by the city’s Romani community to the dehumanising post-war redevelopment of areas like Liben. These stories prove that even in a seemingly small and compact city like Prague, there are always sides to a city’s character you would never have imagined.
