Art and Life in Modernist Prague: Karel Capek and his Generation, 1911-1938 - Palgrave Studies in Cultural and Intellectual History
T. Ort
In most contemporary historical writing the picture of modern life in Habsburg Central Europe is a gloomy story of the failure of rationalism and the rise of protofascist movements. This book tells a different story, focusing on the Czech writers and artists distinguished by their optimistic view of the world in the years before WWI.
