Prague is the magic capital of Europe. Since the days of Emperor Rudolf II, ”devotee of the stars & cultivator of the spagyric art”, who in the late 1500s summoned alchemists & magicians from all over the world to his castle on Hradeany hill, it has been a place of mystery & intrigue. Wars, revolutions, floods, the imposition of Soviet communism, & even the depredations of the tourist boom after the Velvet Revolution of 1989 could not destroy the unique atmosphere of this beautiful, proud, & melancholy city on the Vltava.

He writes of his first visit to the city, in the depths of the Cold War, & of subsequent trips there, of the people he met, the friends he made, the places he came to know. ...
