En savoir plus sur le livre
Every year Prague attracts thousands of enthusiastic visitors with its Old World charms. For a millennium this beautiful city in the heart of Central Europe, with its ancient townships set on hills and in valleys overlooking a strategic river, has been at the core of everything both wonderful and terrible in Western history. Prague in Black and Gold strips away the sentimental distortions in a brilliant account that clarifies Prague's true place in world civilization. Throughout, Demetz shows how Czechs, Germans, Italians, and Jews have lived and worked together in Prague for a thousand years - and what their peaceful coexistence can teach us in these days of increased nationalism and xenophobia.
