Beschreibung
In his latest book, Prohlédni si tu zemi, Václav Cílek continues from his previous successful titles focused primarily on landscapes and places - Krajiny vnitřní a vnější, Makom, and Dýchat s ptáky. The core of the book consists of essays dedicated to Prague and its genius loci; in other sections, the author focuses on the Czech and Moravian landscape (České středohoří, South Bohemia, Ostrava...) as well as on places that inspired him during his foreign travels for geological research (Sudan, Greece, Turkey). Essays on 'external landscapes' are complemented by texts of a more metaphysical nature - about the sacredness of Santini's buildings, about the space associated with Jan Palach, and fragments from an unfinished Chinese anthology. The book is accompanied by illustrations from artist Vladimír Kokolia and 80 photographs by the author.
