Millions of visitors come to Prague each year, drawn by its rich cultural heritage & visual splendour, yet knowing little of its extraordinary past. Peter Demetz’s Prague in Black & Gold is an incredible account of Prague’s historical & cultural wealth, allowing us to unravel layer upon layer of startlingly symbolic sites & buildings to reveal the real Prague. In this erudite, paradoxical history Demetz dispels the popular sentimental image of his hometown as he tells the story of this great city from its origins through the devastation of the Thirty Years` War, the elegant eras of Mozart & Dvorák & the bleak, modern city depicted in Kafka`s disturbing work, to the euphoria of the Velvet Revolution of 1989. Demetz’s brilliant prose & digressions are an exceptional guide which inspires & marvels. “ Prague in Black & Gold is an exceptional work
- & exceptionally reliable.. . I am sure that this will be an important & exciting guide for all who wish to learn more about the famous people & important events in the history of the Czech lands & their capital”
- Ivan Klima, The Times “A dramatic & compelling history of a city Demetz admits to loving & hating … He embraces myth, economics, sociology, linguistics & cultural history … His reflections on visiting Prague after almost a half-century absence are a moving elegy on a world lost through revolutions, velvet or otherwise”
- Gary Lachman, Literary Review“ Demetz, with great erudition & profound engagement, has made it possible for us to come closer to understanding Prague”
- Larry Wolf, The New York Times Book Review About the Author Peter Demetz is Professor Emeritus of German & Comparative Literature at Yale University. He grew up in Prague but fled Czechoslovakia in 1949, settling in the United States.
