“Silent Cinema” Will Open in the Center of Prague

On Thursday, 20 July, an open-air summer cinema will open on Mariánské náměstí in the heart of Prague. The twist? It’s a ‘silent cinema.’ A ‘silent cinema’ is a similar concept to a ‘silent disco’ in that the audio for the event is not pumped through speakers but through headphones to each person who attends. This means that the screen will not generate lots of noise into the night, and is also a fun twist for those who wish to attend. The cinema will work till the beginning of September. The first movie is going to be screened at 21:00. Entrance is free, but you can not book a seat in advance. The schedule of screenings is as follows: – 20, 21 and 22 July – 17, 18 and 19 August – 31 August, 1 and 2 September. The audience will be shown mainly Czech and European films from different years. Their full list and descriptions can be found here. The events are organized by the City Library of Prague as part of the summer cultural season.   xosotin chelseathông tin chuyển nhượngcâu lạc bộ bóng đá arsenalbóng đá atalantabundesligacầu thủ haalandUEFAevertonfutebol ao vivofutemaxmulticanaisonbetbóng đá world cupbóng đá inter milantin...

The globally acclaimed Czech writer, and author of the Unbearable Lightness of Being, passed away on 11 July in Paris at the age of 94.

That institution is also now linked to the great author’s legacy after back in April of this year, he decided to transfer his own personal archive consisting of some 4000 books and 25 boxes of handwritten notes. The donation served as the basis of the creation of the Milan Kundera Library, which is part of the Moravian Library of Brno. And the city was chosen as the host of this important legacy because it was the birthplace of Mr Kundera. Brno’s famous son Milan Kundera was born in the Moravian region’s main city – Brno – in 1929 in the family of a musicologist. graduated from the Grammar School in his hometown, after which he went to study in Prague.

Milan Kundera Dies

Czech-born writer Milan Kundera, author of the novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being has died, public broadcaster Czech Television reported on Wednesday. He was 94. Kundera won accolades for his style depicting themes and characters that floated between the mundane reality of everyday life and the lofty world of ideas. He was born in the Czech city of Brno but emigrated to France in 1975 after being ostracised for criticising the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. A novelist, playwright, poet and essayist, he became the most important Czech writer in the second half of the 20th century, reaching out to the whole world. He left Czechoslovakia in 1975. Kundera and his wife had gone to France for what was supposed to be a short stint at a university, and they did not go back. The communist government revoked Kundera’s citizenship in 1979, and since then he has scarcely returned to his homeland, even after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Czechoslovak authorities banned Kundera’s books and revoked his citizenship after the 1979 publishing in France of The Book of Laughter and Forgetting. In that book, Kundera calls then-Czechoslovak President Gustav Husak “the president of forgetting.” He is best known for his novel The Unbearable Lightness of...

Pig Farm that Stood on the Site of Nazi-Era ‘Roma Camp’ is Finally Demolished

The piggery, a giant industrial operation, stood on the remnants of the Nazi-era Roma concentration camp near Lety, about 80 kilometers south of Prague, and was built in the early 1970s after the Communist regime rejected a proposal to build a Romani Holocaust memorial there. It took 50 years for the country to recognize the farm was a disgrace to the memory of those held in the camp and to flatten it. The demolition started last summer and is now nearly finished – with a memorial to be opened on the site next year. But to many Roma people, the saga remains a symbol of the racism, discrimination and prejudice they still face on daily basis. They believe the farm was allowed to be built because the prisoners were Roma, a group that remains the most marginalized community in the Czech Republic. The Lety camp was one of two “Gypsy camps” operating in the German-occupied Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia during World War Two. Roughly 1,300 Czech and Moravian Roma and Sinti men, women and children were held there from August 1942 to August 1943, according to historical records. Sinti people are a specific subgroup of Roma people who came...

This year we commemorate the 140th anniversary of the birth of Franz Kafka, a Jewish writer who was born in Prague. Want to know some interesting facts about his life and the places where he drew his creative energy? As you visit them, you’ll understand why he said that for anyone who sets eyes on her, Prague will never let them go. Franz Kafka known and unknown His timeless work has made Franz Kafka famous all over the world. He was born on 3 July 1883 in Prague, the city he spent his whole life in and loved dearly. The city and its atmosphere inspired him, and you can still find traces of Franz Kafka in many of its places.

Fortunately, he didn’t listen, so we can still take a peek into his fantastic world and dark moods to this day. His literary legacy outlived him; he became far more famous after his death than during his lifetime. Places imbued with the spirit of Franz Kafka A walk around...

6 July: Celebrate Jan Hus Day

In the middle of Old Town Square stands a large and imposing statue of one of Bohemia’s most important religious reformers and martyrs, Jan Hus (c.1370-1415).   In the Czech Republic, 6 July is still celebrated every year as a public holiday in commemoration of the life and work of this great religious leader and advanced thinker who died for his beliefs more than 600 years ago. He advocated church reforms, such as using Czech as the liturgical language, aligning the church’s practices with teachings contained in the Bible, limiting the power of the church to spiritual matters, and stopping the sale of indulgences. Sometime around 1490, he enrolled in the University of Prague (known as Charles University today) where he eventually earned a master’s degree and began teaching, and then earned the position of dean of the philosophical faculty in 1401. During this period, the university was undergoing a time of strife and disagreement between two factions. On the one hand were the German masters who were staunch supporters of the Catholic Church, and who were regarded as standing against any sort of Church reform, and on the other were the Czech masters who were strongly nationalistic, who were...
