The Coasts of Bohemia, A Czech History

The Coasts of Bohemia, A Czech History

by Derek Sayer

  • HISTORY
  • 2000
  • PAPER
  • 408 PAGES

A political and cultural history of the Czech people, this intriguing book places the historically important Bohemia and Moravia regions at the center of European events (unlike Shakespeare, who gave land-locked Bohemia a coastline in A Winter's Tale). The author draws on literature, the arts, culture and politics to evoke Czech history, society and identity. With extensive notes and a scholarly bibliography.  (CZH10, $37.50)
