October’s selection — Praguers Around the World: Seven Comics About Successful Czechs Abroad, by Martin Nekola
Prague, the City of a Hundred Spires, is a gem among European cities. It has presented the world with many noteworthy personalities. Some have gone abroad and established themselves in a wide range of fields, from sports to science to art.
About the Author:
Martin Nekola created the Czechoslovak Talks project to collect inspiring stories of compatriots abroad so that especially the younger generation can realize that freedom is not automatic and that the path to success is often steep and paved with toil. His first book includes seven such life stories with the hope they will be a source of inspiration and reflection for all readers.
