"Paces has written a beautiful book. . . . an important book. The
greatest value of 'Prague Panoramas' is its fresh approach to

a chance to explore the city."
--The Journal of Modern History
"Anyone interested in appreciating how stones speak should
accompany Paces through her cleverly conceived cultural history.
She deftly guides us around Prague's squares, streets, buildings,
and bridges. She shows how twentieth-century Czechs repeatedly
remembered and reinterpreted the symbols located in the public
spaces of their beautiful capital city."
--Cate Giustino, Auburn University
"Cynthia Paces takes us on a fascinating tour of Prague's twentieth
century, showing how battles over the meaning of Czech national
identity were embedded in the city's streets and illuminating the
oft-neglected and contentious relationship between religion and
nation in the Bohemian lands. Beautifully written and rich in
evocative detail, this book is a significant contribution to the
history of nationalism in Eastern Europe."
