Attempting to go beyond the tourist cliche of Prague as the golden city, this book seeks to bring out all the mystery, ambiguity, gloom, lethargy and hidden fascination of the city on the Vltava. Ripellino blends fact and fiction as he writes of the time of Rudolf II, the alchemists, the Jewish quarter, the Golem, and the works of Kafka and Rilke. It is both a celebration and a requiem for an oppressed culture.
Angelo Maria Ripellino was an Italian translator, poet, linguist and academic.
