Prague Churches and Temples by Tomas Vucka
Encouraging readers to go beyond the famous and obvious--if still impressive--churches and cathedrals listed in standard tourist guides, this captivating photographic guide explores the secret locations hidden away in gardens, deserted alleys, and the peripheries of Prague's busy streets. The book does not aspire to be an academic discourse on the Czech capital's houses of worship, nor is it an encyclopedic listing of must-see locations; it is, rather, a celebration of the churches, chapels, temples, rotundas, and synagogues that serve as a unique testament to Prague's centuries of fascinating history, art, culture, and spiritual life. The guide offers architecture admirers and travelers alike a fascinating and unique view of the city.
Tomas Vucka is a literary historian at the Institute of Czech Literature AS CR, where he specializes in avant-garde literature from the 1920s and 1930s. He has a longtime interest in the history of Prague and its many landmarks. He lives in Prague.
