Praha
Kniha, kterou otevirate, je knihou o lasce.
Je to pro nine radost i cest, smet doprovodit
takovou knihu nekolika slovya poprat ji sfastny
zivot, yak se kniham o lasce slusi.
Az budete touto kouzelnou knihou listovat
jiste v ni najdete obrazek, stranku, ktera vam
bude blizka. Praha je takova bohyne lasky,
schopna se rozdat vsem, aniz by ztratila povest
krasne, puvabne a ctihodne, verne, jak se na
takovou nesmrtelnou bohyni shisi. Najdete ji
tu ve vsech jejich prevlecich, v torn romanskem
a gotickem, renesancnim a baroknim a roko-
kovem, klasicistickem a empirovem, secesnim
a soucasnem. Je tu i bohyni zahrad a mostu
a vezf, kterych je tolik, ze je nikdo presne
nespocita. Je to krasavice pro vsechny sezony.
A in it tuhle knihu je jako byt v Praze, kdyz lie
ve skutecnosti, alespon pohledem a vduchu.

The book you are just opening is a book
about love. It is a pleasure and an honour for
me to be allowed to accompany such a book
with a few words and to wish it a happy life, as
becomes books 011 love.
When you leaf through this magical book
you are sure to find a picture, a page, that is
near to you. Prague is such a goddess of love,
able to give to everyone, without losing the
reputation of being beatiful, charming and
honourable, faithful, as becomes an immortal
goddess. You will find her here in all her guises,
the Romanesque and Gothic, Renaissance and
Baroque, and Rococo, Classicist and Empire,
Art Nouveau and contemporary. Here too she
is the goddess of gardens and bridges and
towers, of which there are so many that
nobody has ever counted them exactly. She is
a beauty for all seasons.
Having this book is like being in Prague, if
not actually, at least in seeing and in spirit.
