Prague is not just Charles Bridge, Hradcany or the Golden Street. Where to go to avoid the crowds of tourists? On May 26, the Warsaw-based publishing house Dowody na Istnienie published Mariusz Szczygiel 's latest, tenth book, titled. "A Personal Guide to Prague," illustrated with photographs by Filip Springer.
In the personal guide, Szczygieł leads readers through his favorite non-obvious places. The book is published twenty years after the author's first trip to Prague in the spring of 2000, when he was seduced by the city and the language.
In the author's own words, the book came from nervousness:
Since my first publications about Prague, not a week goes by that I don't get a question about some magical, important, personal place. This, of course, is to be Prague without Charles Bridge and without Hradčany. The excess of these requests, especially the inability to write back to all of them, began to annoy me, so I decided to turn this feeling into something positive. I wrote a guidebook, to which I will now refer everyone.
