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. John Banville traces Prague`s often tragic history & portrays the people who made it: the emperors & princes, geniuses & charlatans, heroes & scoundrels. He also paints a portrait of the Prague of today, reveling in its newfound freedoms, eager to join the European Community & at the same time suspicious of what many Praguers see as yet another totalitarian takeover. 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. ...
