A Historical Guide to Prague (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781530076666)

Frantisek Palacky, the most famous Czech historian, paints a vivid portrait of the history of Prague. You'll meet Libuse, the legendary foundress of the city, kings and queens, princes and bishops, merchants and soldiers. Palacky, one of the leading figures of the Czech National Revival of the 19th century, wrote his text on the occasion of the coronation of Ferdinand I in 1836. At the time, Prague was already a popular tourist destination. For contemporary visitors, this book is still an excellent introduction to the rich and dramatic history of "The Golden City".
