My loved one gave me for Christmass a beautifull book: PRAGUE IN BLACK AND GOLD by Peter Demetz; highly recommended for all of you who love this city! Peter Demetz studied at the KU under prof. Patocka; in 1949 , as so many of us, fled the communist Czechoslovakia, is presently Professor Emeritus of German and comparative studies at the Yale University in Connecticut (we Czechs mostly succeeded here!). He presents a rather debunked history of this city. Published by Hill&Wang, a div. of Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, 19 Union square w. New York 10003, 1997. I wish a good reading! oldczech
