Communist demonstrations and festivals are documented alongside domestic scenes in pubs and cottages. Among the historic moments recorded in this volume are the blasting of the Stalin monument in Prague in 1962 (taken by an unknown photographer); Milon Novotny's photographs of the funeral parade of Jan Palach in 1969; and an incredible series of surveillance photographs taken by an unidentified member of the Czech secret police, which furtively documents equally furtive assignations on the streets of Prague. Works by Ivo Gil, Josef Koudelka, Jindrich Streit, Miroslav Tichy, Jiri Toman and many others are also included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vladimir Birgus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8074370054\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788074370052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 9.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Vladimir Birgus","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372485169407,"sku":"9788074370052","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_053e7229-2fc3-4a44-aff1-0523a9858982.jpg?v=1732726075","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/once-upon-a-time-in-vladimir-birgus-9788074370052","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
