Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. 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. 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 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 Ivans 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. 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 Eliots sweet Thames full of the debris of tragic lives, of horrors, of moments of beauty and testimonies of love all against the backdrop of mans inhumanity. Josef Skvorecky A poignant and vivid memoire of a child searching for traces of his father, lost in the murky ideologies of post war Central Europe. An engrossing book.

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.  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 - 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.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Heda Margolius Kovly (1919-2010) was a renowned Czech writer and translator born to Jewish parents. Her bestselling memoir, Under a Cruel Star: A Life in Prague, 1941-1968 has been translated into more than a dozen languages. Her crime novel Innocence; or, Murder on Steep Street-based on her own experiences living under Stalinist oppression-was named an NPR Best Book in 2015.In the tradition of Studs Terkel, Hitler, Stalin and I is based on interviews between Kovly and award-winning filmmaker Helena Tretkov. In it, Kovly recounts her family history in Czechoslovakia, starving in the deprivations of Lodz Ghetto, how she miraculously left Auschwitz, fled from a death march, failed to find sanctuary amongst former friends in Prague as a concentration camp escapee, and participated in the liberation of Prague. Later under Communist rule, she suffered extreme social isolation as a pariah after her first husband Rudolf Margolius was unjustly accused in the infamous Slnsky Trial and executed for treason. Remarkably, Kovly, exiled in the United States after the Warsaw Pact invasion in 1968, only had love for her country and continued to believe in its people. She returned to Prague in 1996.Heda had an enormous talent for expressing herself. She spoke with precision and was descriptive and witty in places. I admired her attitude and composure, even after she had such extremely difficult experiences. Nazism and Communism afflicted Heda's life directly with maximum intensity. Nevertheless, she remained an optimist.Helena Tretkov has made over fifty documentary films. Hitler, Stalin and I has garnered several awards in the Czech Republic and Japan.PRAISE FOR KOVALY'S INNOCENCEA luminous testament from a dark time, Innocence is at once a clever homage to Raymond Chandler, and a portrait of a city Prague caught and held fast in a state of Kafkaesque paranoia. Only a great survivor could have written such a book. John BanvilleInnocence is an extraordinary novel . in 1985, Kovly produced a remarkable work of art with the intrigue of a spy puzzle, the irony of a political fable, the shrewdness of a novel of manners, and the toughness of a hard-boiled murder mystery . Just as few will anticipate the many surprises and artful turns of Innocence, a book sure to dazzle and please a great many readers. Tom Nolan, The Best New Mysteries, The Wall Street JournalKovly's skills as a mystery writer shines, as she uses suspense, hints, and suggestions to literally play with the reader's mind . Innocence is an excellent novel for readers who are up for a challenging, intelligent, and complex story one that paints a masterful picture of a bleak, Kafkaesque, and highly intriguing time, place, and cast of characters. The New York Journal of BooksAlthough not out of love for Hegel, Heda Margolius Kovly makes a very Hegelian point: actions, as Hegel tells us in the section on Antigone in Phenomenology of Spirit even seemingly small, meaningless actions always reach beyond their intent; and the impossibility of foreseeing how the consequences will ripple outwards does not absolve us of guilt. As for innocence, the woman who went to hell twice wants her readers to know that there is no such thing. The Times Literary Supplement The oral history of a renowned Czech writer, whose optimism and faith in people survived grueling experiences under authoritarian regimes.
