Maggiori informazioni sul libro

By examining the role of religion in interwar Prague, the book provides a fresh perspective on the city's cultural history amidst broader European secularization. It delves into the interplay between politics, architecture, and theology, highlighting how these elements contributed to the symbolic identity of the first Czechoslovak republic. Through biographical studies of key figures like President Tomás Garrigue Masaryk and architect Joze Plecnik, the author reveals the complex, often overlooked religious dimensions of modern Czech elites, challenging the notion of their atheism.
