Synopsis:
Golden Prague seemed mostly gray when Patricia Hampl first went there in search of her Czech heritage. In that time, no one could have predicted the political upheaval awaiting Communist Europe and the city of Kafka and Rilke. Hampl's subsequent memoir added to the understanding of modern Central Europe but also of what it means to be engaged in the struggle of a people to define and affirm themselves. Reissued for the tenth anniversary of the "Velvet Revolution", this book includes an updated afterword based on Hampl's annual return trips to Prague and the Czech countryside. Here is an introduction to what was once the unknown "other Europe" behind the Iron Curtain and is now the continent's most popular travel destinations.
About the Author:
Patricia Hampl is Regent's Professor at the University of Minnesota and lives in St. Paul.
