Reflections of Prague: Journeys Through the 20th Century

This is the story of a family who became embroiled in the most perilous episodes of the twentieth century. Through their uncomprehending eyes, we see the history of their beloved Prague and of the wider events that tear their lives apart. Their tragic story traces the major events, turmoil, suffering and triumphs of Europe in the 20th Century - from the vibrant artistic and intellectual life of Prague in the times of Kafka to the concentration camps of Hitler and from the tyrannous rule of Stalin to liberation under Havel. Told from Ivan’s perspective, it is a tragic but also uplifting tale that tells of a life lived with purpose and conviction, in the face of personal suffering and sacrifice.
