More about the book
Gottland explores the feints, dodges, compromises and sleights of hand that the citizens of Czechoslovakia became accustomed to during the eighty years between the founding of the nation and its peaceful dissolution in 1993. Elegantly written, Szczygiel captures the stories of authors, artists, signers, actors and others, whose lives were subject to extraordinary reversals. They responded sometimes with dignity and courage, sometimes with bald opportunism and often with a particularly wry Czech sense of humour.
