It is no exaggeration to call Praha (Czech for Prague) one of the most beautiful cities in the world; few places possess such atmosphere and history, such magnificent art and architecture. Part of its allure comes from its extraordinarily eclectic layers: a single vista can encompass soaring Gothic turrets, voluted Baroque gables, colorful Art Nouveau mosaics and jutting Cubist facades. Its museums and galleries hold masterpieces from medieval paintings to the latest in contemporary art, and many are found in buildings as fascinating as their collections. This guide introduces travellers to Bohemian art and architecture in and around Prague. It provides a fascinating art historical context, explaining history, styles, patrons, and artists and suggests easy-to-follow trails that lead art lovers through different sections of the city and nearby towns.

1962. Les MacCarthy rentrent au pays et s'installent à Centralia, au sud de l'Ontario. Ils forment une famille exemplaire. Jack, le père, est officier de carrière et Mimi, la mère, une femme resplendissante. Madeleine, huit ans, croit encore que l'école est un des endroits les plus sûrs qui soient. Mike, douze ans, est le héros de sa petite sœur. Mais la vie à la base militaire ne tardera pas à faire craquer ce vernis. Un meurtre inconcevable secoue la communauté. Jack se trouve confronté à un dilemme moral insurmontable : au nom des intérêts de son pays en pleine guerre froide, doit-il protéger un criminel de guerre et laisser enfermer un innocent ? Quant à Madeleine, peut-elle mentir pour faire éclater la vérité ? La lumière ne se fera que plus tard, beaucoup plus tard, lorsque cette dernière, jeune femme brisée et indomptable, ira enfin jusqu'au fond des choses. En attendant, seuls les corbeaux ont vu le meurtre. Ann-Marie MacDonald signe ici une œuvre romanesque magistrale, puissante méditation sur la perte de l'innocence, au niveau le plus intime comme à l'échelle d'un pays tout entier. " Brillant. Un regard férocement intelligent (...) à ne pas manquer. " Washington Post. " Un roman riche et prenant. " The Bookseller. " Remarquable. (...) Un conte captivant, dérangeant. " Chicago Tribune.
