Overview

Reflections of Prague is the story of how a Czech Jewish family become embroiled in the most tragic and tumultuous episodes of the twentieth century.Ā  Through their eyes we see the history of their beloved Prague, a unique European city, and the wider, political forces that tear their lives apart. Their moving story traces the major events, turmoil, oppression and triumphs of Europe through the last hundred years ā€“ from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the First World War; from the vibrant artistic and intellectual life of Prague in the times of Kafka, the Capek Brothers and Masaryk to years of hunger in a Polish ghetto and the concentration camps of Hitler; from the tyrannous rule of Stalin to the rekindled hopes of Dubcek and the subsequent Soviet occupation to liberation under Havel. Told from Ivanā€™s perspective, it is a poignant but uplifting tale that tells of life lived with purpose and conviction, in the face of personal suffering and sacrifice.

ā€˜A remarkable book. This archetypical story of the twentieth century is intertwined with an almost stream-of-consciousness narrative of the history of the Czechs, of Prague, interspersed with samples of exquisite poetry by great contemporary poets. So the narrative flows like Eliotā€™s sweet Thames full of the debris of tragic lives, of horrors, of moments of beauty and testimonies of love ā€“ all against the backdrop of manā€™s inhumanity.ā€™ Josef Å kvoreckĆ½

ā€˜A poignant and vivid mĆ©moire of a child searching for traces of his father, lost in the murky ideologies of post war Central Europe. Ā An engrossing book.ā€™ Sir John Tusa
