culture Recommended ReAdinG non-fiction: The Czechs and the Lands of the Bohemian Crown by Hugh Lecaine Agnew: A good overview of the nation, from prehistory and the first Slavs to the Czech Republic’s entry into the EU. Political, economic and cultural aspects are covered. Prague: A Cultural and Literary History by Richard D. E. Burton: Excellent reading for those who want to dig deep into the city’s cultural past and present. Includes overviews ranging from Jan Hus to Franz Kafka and Jewish Prague to The Good Soldier Švejk. Travelers’ Tales Prague and the Czech Republic: True Stories edited by David Farley and Jessie Scholl: A compilation of stories by both American and Czech writers who have lived in, and have something to say about, Prague and the Czech Republic. Prague 20th Century Architecture by Michael Kohout: Art Nouveau, Cubism and Functionalism are all covered in this book detailing Czech architecture from 1900 to 1997. More than 200 buildings are included, with photos and descriptions. Under a Cruel Star: A Life in Prague 1941–1968 by Heda Margolius Kovaly: A memoir by a Czechoslovak exile that details her time spent in Nazi concentration camps; her return to Prague and happy marriage (before her husband was killed by the Communist regime) and her emigration to the West in 1968. Living in Freedom: The New Prague by Mark Sommer: This book, published in 1993, tells one man’s version of how the city changed after the fall of communism. Based on Sommer’s visits to Prague in 1983, 1990 and 1991, the book combines history, personal reflections and interviews with locals. Prague: A Traveler’s Literary Companion edited by Paul Wilson: This is an anthology of 23 Prague stories. Well-known writers such as Ivan Klíma and Franz Kafka rate inclusion, but the bonus here is that the stories are first seen in their English translation. Fiction: The Memoirs Of A Prague Executioner by Josef Svátek: A historical novel, this book is loosely based on the writings of one Jan Mydlář, an actual executioner in the 16th century. Medieval law enforcement is of course discussed, but history fans may enjoy the inclusion of social and cultural norms of the time. The Russian Debutante’s Handbook by Gary Shteyngart: Based in the fictional city of Prava, an uproarious account of post-Cold War Central Europe and its expat inhabitants. For kids: Susie and Tom Travel the World by Karen York: This smartly-designed book stars two cartoon kids who are layered over real photos of Prague. The Three Golden Keys by Peter Sís: Mysterious stories draw on local legends of Bruncvík, the Golem, and Master Hanuš, builder of the Orloj astronomical clock. In addition to this must-have book, Peter Sís wrote The Wall: Growing Up Behind the Iron Curtain. You Can Go Home Again by Jiřina Marton: A young lady grows up in Czech Republic as part of a worldly, well-educated family. During the war, it is decided she would be safer in Canada, so she leaves her family behind. moRe on eXpAtS.cz Our culture section is one of our most popular categories!
