Beschreibung:
Matěj Spurný is associate professor in the Department of Economic and Social History at Charles University, Prague, where he specializes in modern social history, Czech multiculturalism and modern European dictatorships. Derek Paton has been a translator of works of Czech history, politics, and art history for more than twenty-five years, twenty of which he has translated together with his wife Marzia Patton.
Most, one of the most impressive historical cities of Northern Bohemia, was destroyed in the sixties and seventies for coal mining. When plans to redevelop the city began, hope and expectations ran high; in the end, however, Most became a symbol for the heartless incompetence of Czechoslovak communism.
