Kafka's City of Prague and Czech Literature

Vlasta Ciháková, "The Prague Vision: Tales of Ancient Eastern European Capitals" - Why is Prague so beautiful?

This book is a work that explains the charms and secrets of Prague, a city too beautiful for words.

The book is richly illustrated with photographs and illustrations, and is very intriguing to read.

This is a highly recommended book for those who want to know more and more about the Czech Republic. It is a work that allows you to get to know Prague quite deeply.

Setsuko Otaka, "Czech and Germany: Love and Hatred" - What is the complicated relationship between the great powers Germany and the Czech Republic?

This book was just shocking. It changed my view of Germany. No, I can say that I felt anew the horror of international politics itself.

It is an excellent work not only for learning about Prague's troubled history, but also for thinking about international politics. I highly recommend this book.

Laurent Binet's "HHhH" Synopsis and Comments - A masterful novel about a high-level Nazi assassination mission in Nazi-occupied Prague!

I highly recommend this work as well! I picked up this work to learn about history, but the quality of the novel is extraordinary to begin with. I think it will be a great read for those who are looking for an exciting and interesting novel. The assassination scene and the battle scene at the end are like a movie. The descriptions will make your hands sweat. I would like you to experience this by all means.

Chapek's "White Disease" Synopsis and Impressions - An unknown plague suddenly begins to spread in the world just before the war! What is the fate of mankind?

This work is science fiction written in the form of a play, and is quite compact, with only a little over 150 pages in the paperback edition. However, like his masterpiece "Robot," it is surprisingly dense. I was drawn into the story and read through it in no time. This work is also full of Chapek's charm. I highly recommend this work.

Chapek's "Prickly War" Synopsis and Comments - An amazing satire on the Nazis! Will science and technology save mankind? A classic masterpiece of modern science fiction!

Normally, if you're looking for a science fiction thriller, you'd choose something more terrifying, like aliens, monsters, or machines. Chapek, however, is different. After all, he is a Prickly Ash. To be honest, it's a little bit cute. But in Chapek's writing, the eeriness goes far beyond aliens and monsters. This work is also a critique of Nazism and totalitarianism.

Masaki Nakamasa, "Evil and Totalitarianism: Thinking from Hannah Arendt" - A recommended reference book by Arendt!

The book focuses on Arendt's "The Origins of Totalitarianism" and "Eichmann in Jerusalem" to explain Arendt's upbringing, path as a philosopher, and ideas. The book is surprisingly easy to read and understand. I also appreciate that the book is written in a way that even beginning students can easily understand. This is a recommended reference book to learn from "Why should I study Arendt now?"

B. Stangnet, "Eichmann Before Jerusalem: The Peaceful Life of a Mass Murderer" - The "banality (mediocrity) of evil" theory is overturned!

It is a shocking work that could overturn Arendt's "banality of evil" theory!

The Eichmann revealed in this book is the exact opposite of the "banality of evil." Arendt is told in this book that he fell into Eichmann's carefully planned trap in Jerusalem. Eichmann was no mere cog in the wheel of power. It is a terrifying book.
