Description
History breathes on you wherever you walk through Prague. Its fateful places are not only the best-known sites, such as Prague Castle, Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square, but also hidden locations in various corners of the city. The author has selected forty fateful places and events from across Prague, including the ammunition explosion on Truhlářská Street, the collapse of a house in Poříčí, the assassination attempt on Alois Rašín and the sinking of the steamship František Josef I. Each event is described and analyzed in detail, while readers also receive a detailed account of points of interest in the surrounding area. The book includes information about local transport and references to literature and websites dealing with the subject or the area. QR codes link to an online map, and the text is accompanied by numerous historical and contemporary photographs. As a bonus, it presents a further fifteen short stories about fateful events in Prague. The book is in Czech.
