      Choices We Make
    • Praga, impero austro-ungarico, inizio giugno 1914. Solomon Meisl è un medico ebreo che esercita a Josefstadt, il cuore storico, magico ed esoterico della città. Tenace, intuitivo, paziente, il dottor Meisl affianca alla sua professione quella di detective privato. Così, un giorno d'estate, ecco bussare alla porta del suo studio Karel Heida, un giovane ufficiale dei Lancieri incaricato di fare luce sull'omicidio di una principessa russa. Un caso inspiegabile, a cui fanno seguito altri efferati delitti, dai contorni quasi sovrannaturali. Deciso ad affiancare il tenente Heida nelle sue indagini (e avvalendosi dei consigli di un amico scrittore di nome Franz Kakfa…), Meisl si butta a capofitto nella Praga più occulta e incantata, memore del ghetto ebraico e del Golem, tra nobildonne seducenti, rabbini-alchimisti, cantanti d'opera, cabarettisti yiddish, assassini seriali e terroristi nell'ombra. Alla fine ogni delitto avrà la sua spiegazione, il suo movente, il suo colpevole. Ma intanto, a Sarajevo, il 28 giugno 1914…
