Czech Republic, 1998. 307pp plus some colour pics at rear. Less than 500g to post. For The Love of Prague is the true love story of the only free American continuously living in Prague during 30 years of the communist regime, yet was free of its control, free to travel in and out of the iron curtain at will, and managed a completely independent career and lovc of an astounding Czech woman. The book could only be written after the "Velvet Revolution" of 1989. Before that, the author's life was a delicate and amazing tight wire act. -from the author > Prague is a city fallen in love with on a first visit. The glittering and rich Prague of today is far from pefect, but it is beyond comparison to the gray and dowdy town I had to cope with during 30 years of communism, when my dear little Zdenka and I dodged through a hair-raisng series of survival adventures. In a crazy way, much of it was hilariously funny, and even in its over-the-top 180-degree adaption of capitalism, it remains a place of absurdities, while at the same time providing something for everyone. There is no place quite like Prague.. Paperback. Very Good/None issued. 21.5cm.
