Prague in Black and Gold Scenes from the Life

Prague is at the core of everything both wonderful and terrible in Western history, but few people truly understand this city's unique culture. In "Prague in Black and Gold, Peter Demetz strips away sentimentalities and distortions and shows how Czechs, Germans, Italians, and Jews have lived and worked together for over a thousand years. .

Peter Demetz, Professor Emeritus of German and Comparative Literature at Yale University, was born in Prague.
