| | 4. |  | The Coasts of Bohemia: A Czech History
from Princeton University Press
Customer Review:
If a book claims to be a history of a place, then it should at least give the reader decent coverage of the history of that place. But this book fails in that most basic requirement. The author is much more interested in discussing Alfons Mucha and how the Munich Agreement affected this relatively... more info

| | 5. |  | A Romantic Education
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
Being of eastern European descent, I found Hampl's book revealing and intriguing as it spoke of what my grandparents often alluded to when referring to "the old country."
I felt myself travelling with her, trying to find out something, anything, about my roots.

| | 7. |  | Prague Then and Now (Then & Now Thunder Bay)
from Thunder Bay Press
Price: $18.57
Customer Review:
As a resident of Prague for many years, this book won me over as a rare find, especially for non-Czech speakers. The writer has obviously invested quite a lot of research, and the text is a pleasure to read: informative and interesting, combining insights of social and political transformations with... more info

| | 9. |  | Mother and Me: Escape from Warsaw 1939
from Academy Chicago Publishers
Price: $27.50
Customer Review:
the story by itself is probably important to the author, but for the rest who are interested in Holocaust, it's very remotely related. Although I'm only in the middle of the book, but so far it's very very boring. The author being age 5-6 mixes whatever he remembers with fiction. But mostly it's... more info

| | 10. |  | Prague Pictures: A Portrait of the City (Writer and the City.)
from Bloomsbury USA
Price: $16.61
Customer Review:
John Banville, in many of his novels, conjures up the alchemical and scientific wonders of early modern Europe: Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, Dr Faustus. His prose always has daunted me from taking on his dense, serious fiction, but perhaps, after this wonderfully self-deprecating, nimbly observed,... more info
