Reviews

"Jan Royt's book adds to these accounts [of the history of Prague] from specific periods of Prague's history with his vividly written introduction, which defines Prague by focusing on the life of the one ruler that permanently reshaped the city's aesthetic. All in all, the book's short texts, generous illustrations, and clearly drawn maps are the perfect companion for any visitor who seeks a general overview of the city."-- "Speculum"
