From one of the foremost chroniclers of the modern European experience, a panoramic view of a city that has seduced and bewitched visitors for centuries.
Prague is the magic capital of Europe. Since the days of Emperor Rudolf II, "devotee of the stars and cultivator of the spagyric art", who in the late 1500s summoned alchemists and magicians from all over the world to his castle on Hradcany hill, it has been a place of mystery and intrigue. Wars, revolutions, floods, the imposition of Soviet communism, and even the depredations of the tourist boom after the Velvet Revolution of 1989 could not destroy the unique atmosphere of this beautiful, proud, and melancholy city on the Vltava. John Banville traces Prague's often tragic history and portrays the people who made it: the emperors and princes, geniuses and charlatans, heroes and scoundrels. He also paints a portrait of the Prague of today, reveling in its newfound freedoms, eager to join the European Community and at the same time suspicious of what many Praguers see as yet another totalitarian takeover. He writes of his first visit to the city, in the depths of the Cold War, and of subsequent trips there, of the people he met, the friends he made, the places he came to know.
John Banville was born in Wexford, Ireland, in 1945. He has been the recipient of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize (1976), the Guardian Fiction Prize (1981), the Guinness Peat Aviation Book Award (1989), and the Lannan Literary Award for Fiction (1997). He has been both shortlisted for the Booker Prize (1989) and awarded the Man Booker Prize (2005) as well as nominated for the Man Booker International Prize (2007). Other awards include the Franz Kafka Prize (2011), the Austrian State Prize for European Literature (2013), and the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature (2014). He lives in Dublin.

在《途中的镜子》这部美国二十世纪现实主义文学评书只中,第一个讨论的问题就是作家与城市。作家与城市,这是一个比较有趣的话题。城市作为现代化的一种物质表征,是很多作家攻击的对象。然而很多城市却因为作家有了不一样的韵味。比如布拉格。同样,看这本书是因为卡夫...
评分2005年布克文学家得主约翰•班维尔的这本小书,可能不是作者最重要的作品;但是,班维尔可能是讲述布拉格的书作者中最具国际影响的人之一,当然,在历史上布拉格不乏大师级的描述者,例如卡夫卡、米兰•昆德拉... 作者开宗明义说这不是导游手册,但我觉得本书应该是造访这...
评分城市到底是什么? 是建筑?容纳我们的肉体,冷眼旁观我们的悲喜。是广场?铺满绿草和劣质艳粉的花朵,中央放置着保持痛苦姿态的塑像。是道路?是河流?公园?林荫道?还是一群来来往往的人?抑或城市是这一切的总和? 可为什么每个人在回忆起一座城市的时候,我们总想不起来这...
