The "Prager Tagblatt" was the most significant German-language newspaper in Prague. Max Brod was a literary, music, and theater critic here and a central figure in Prague's cultural life. In the novel "Prager Tagblatt" from 1957, Brod writes—barely concealed—about the everyday life of the editors around Egon Erwin Kisch, set against the backdrop of Prague's nightlife and the political events of the First Republic. It is the novel of a great era in Prague's cultural history, told by someone who contributed to its greatness.
