An intimate book equal to the beauty of Prague.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Prague, My Love : An Unusual Guide Book to the Hidden Corners of Prague (Paperback)
Prague is a beautiful and complex city. James's book provides insights beyond the traditional tourist guide. Prague is full of spirits, past and present, from Huss to Kafka to Klima. This is the penultimate way to see them. A tour guide without pictures makes perfect sense here for to understand Prague is to see it through words. It takes the reader through maze of history, most of it woven together in a way that gives lasting memory. Having spent much time in Prague over the years I appreciated its careful narrative. I wish I had read it long before my first visit.
