Description
The young poet Rilke grew up in an atmosphere of German-Czech conflict, reflected in his early "Two Prague Stories". "King Bohusch" is based on an actual incident involving the subversive organization "Omladina". Rilke's second Prague story, "The Siblings", ends on a note of reconciliation, unlike "King Bohusch" - and unlike the actual course of German-Czech relations. This book is key to an understanding of this joint history.
