«Praga mágica» is the historical essay by Angelo Maria Ripellino, published by Julio Ollero Editor in hardcover (388 pages, in Spanish).
A reconstruction of Prague's imaginary from history, literature and travel writing, far from the tourist cliché. Ripellino explores its myths and corners: Rudolf II, the alchemists, the Golem, the Jewish quarter, the taverns and writers linked to Prague such as Kafka, Hašek or Meyrink, with a gaze that reveals its mysterious and ambiguous side.
Originally published in 1973, this Spanish edition is from 1991. It belongs to the Imaginario collection and includes black-and-white illustrations.
For readers and travelers interested in Prague, Central European history and Czech literature.
Angelo Maria Ripellino was an Italian translator, poet, linguist and academic.
