Prague

Prague is a city of countless, ever-changing faces. It impresses everyone differently. Some are struck by its beauty unexpectedly and lightly, yet indelibly. Others are completely engulfed by it, pulled in with reckless abandon and enveloped in a myriad of centuries-old dreams and ancient legends. They are intoxicated by the dark power of magical nights, when parades of pub brawlers and café regulars walk the streets hand in hand with shimmering crowds of ghosts and ghouls. Prague's magnificent vistas and picturesque corners have always beckoned artists to depict them. Many painters and graphic artists, and since the mid-19th century, photographers, have tried to capture their charm. For many years, the authors of this book — the well-known Prague photographers and adventurers, father-and-son team Zdeněk and Michal Thom — have been trying to do the same. United not only by blood, but also by a passion for travel, they have tasted the many beauties of the globe. They have experienced the many beauties of the globe first-hand, but — as they themselves admit — Prague is unmistakable and unique. To them, it is the most beautiful city in the world.
