There is a city of museums, a postcard idyll with 180 bridges. But Martin Becker knows where its spirit comes alive: in unremarkable dives and drizzly nights, in former working-class neighborhoods that have transformed into trendy spots, and in bicycle workshops that also serve as cafés. He also knows that there is a Czech Republic beyond the capital. He takes us to Brno and Karlovy Vary, to Ostrava and the Jeseníky Mountains. He familiarizes us with the bittersweet melancholy of the Czech soul, as well as with "ceský humor." And he shows us where Czech wonders still happen today.
