A history of the Bohemian capital assesses Prague's true place in world civilization, separating the truths from the myths of the city's origins and surveying the key moments in its history in the heart of the Old World. <p>Prague is at the core of everything both wonderful and terrible in Western history, but few people truly understand this city's unique culture. In <i>Prague in Black and Gold</i>, Peter Demetz strips away sentimentalities and distortions and shows how Czechs, Germans, Italians, and Jews have lived and worked together for over a thousand years. .</p>
