Prague, I see a city...is a novel of quest, in which the heroine
abandons the material world of everyday society and linear history,
perceiving it as false, temporary and distracting, and journeys in
search of her true identity. Suffused with the atmosphere
immediately following the end of the Communist regime, Hodrova's
novel is a conscious addition to the tradition of Prague literary
texts by, for example, Karel Hynek Macha, Jakub Arbes, Gustav
Meyrink, and Franz Kafka, who present the city as a hostile living
creature, or as a labyrinthine place of magic and mystery, in which
the individual human being may easily get lost. Translated by David
Short.
