| Description | Love Stories: Czech Novels is a book about love for the Czech lands and about love within them. Prague-based prose writer Andrey Shary leads the reader through the lives and fates of striking figures whose destinies were bound to this country. Franz Kafka appears here, and so does Marina Tsvetaeva. The book also turns to Franz Ferdinand d’Este, Giacomo Casanova, Julius Fučík, Karel Čapek, and Charles of Luxembourg. In this country they planned great deeds, shaped politics, and wrote works that outlived them. Their hunger for power, their creative impulses, and their private passions were often tightly intertwined. All of them longed for happiness and searched for love, though not all were able to find it. This journey through the past and present of Czechia brings together travel writing and biographical essay. It is written with deep knowledge and with a light irony. It is a book for anyone who loves Czechia and history. |
