Immerse yourself in the mystery and charm of Prague with 'Magic Prague' by Angelo Maria Ripellino. This book takes you beyond the tourist clichés, exploring the ambiguity, melancholy, and hidden fascination of the city on the Vltava. Through a style that mixes melodrama and ghost stories, Ripellino intertwines facts and fiction, evoking the time of Rudolf II, the alchemists, the Jewish quarter, the Golem, the pubs, Meyrink, the Zech Dadaists, Hasak, and Kafka. A literary and cultural journey that celebrates and laments an oppressed culture, highlighting both the Gothic and Baroque splendor as well as the vestiges of flea markets and crumbling relics, essential to understanding the city's history.
Angelo Maria Ripellino was an Italian translator, poet, linguist and academic.
