Prague’s centre and periphery, the dark side of the capital which also hides cultural treasures. Since the 1960s the essayist and pilgrim Josef Kroutvor has wandered the city, discovering its quaint corners for the book Praha mizerná (Wretched Prague) (2016). In his essays, he has returned home from Venice, to which he dedicated an unorthodox guidebook, and from his Nové cest na jih (New Routes to the South), in which he discovered the half-forgotten histories of southern regions.
Jiří Fiedor of publishers Pulchra, which has issued the book, will introduce the writer and pose questions.
The projection of accompanying pictures by Jan Reich has not been ruled out.
