Tajemství pražských klášterů – Královská kanonie premonstrátů na Strahově – Snětivý Josef Pepson (2022)

After the success of the book The Secrets of Prague's Monasteries – The Castle and Hradčany, which was published in two editions, the writer, traveler, and musician Josef Pepson Snětivý set off on another journey against the tide of time, in search of beauty and miracles, of moments of triumphant victories and cruel falls, to map out the history and present of the Royal Canonry of the Premonstratensians at Strahov for you. In this book, you can once again look forward to an engaging narrative, enriched by Pepson's perspective as an enchanted pilgrim and many photographs (often from inaccessible places). The text smoothly connects historical milestones and ecclesiastical history, monastic life, the architectural and artistic beauty of past ages, and a description of the current state. The Strahov Monastery, nicknamed Prague's Sion, is a highly significant institution with nearly nine hundred years of history. Together we will explore its history and unique complex; your next visit to Prague's Sion will be more informed and heartfelt because of it. In the physical proximity of Saint Norbert, the founder of the Premonstratensian order, it couldn't be any other way...
