Description
Prague Castle, dominating perhaps the most beautiful city in the world, is a gem of European culture. In a publication equipped with the eloquent subtitle 'crossroads of history,' this magical place plays the role of the focal point of often turbulent history of state entities, whose symbolic center it has been, from the first Přemyslid princes to the departure of the first Czechoslovak and Czech president, Václav Havel. The author, Prague native Miloš Pokorný (*1931), has gained rich experience in the field of historical publications during more than half a century of publishing activity in Prague and since 1962 in Great Britain. In this book, he has gathered a remarkable collection of illustrations related to the history of Prague Castle, which he presents to both Czech and foreign readers. The book will alert Czech readers to lesser-known aspects of our history and encourage them to reconsider established notions.
