No Saints Or Angels

Ivan Klima is widely recognized as one of the most important Czech writers of his generation. No Saints or Angels is set in Prague during the summer of 1998 and spans three generations, from the Second World War to the new millennium. Told with great poise and affection, it attempts to make sense of the new, queasy democracy that followed the Velvet Revolution of 1989 and beautifully captures the shifting realities of contemporary Prague.
