I am very pleased to learn that a Czech edition of my 2013 book Prague, Capital of the Twentieth Century, translated by Jindřich Veselý, was published in March 2021 in Prague by Volvox Globator. The book is available in hardcover or as an e-book from many stores including Kosmas.cz.
For us as for many others 2020 was an extraordinarily difficult and sad year. I didn’t get around to posting my usual Top 10+ Albums of the Year. For the record, here they are.
