Prague 22: A Philosopher Takes a Tram through a City is a work of joyful wonder inspired by the encounter between the philosopher of the title and one of the world's most beautiful cities. The memoir is anchored in the enchanting 22 tram journey linking the author's flat in Prague with the Castle. The city is unpacked in a torrent of sharp-eyed observations, reflections, and speculations, seasoned with mischievous humour. An attempt to encompass the magic, history, culture, and tragedy of Prague is interwoven with reflections on the enigmas of the human mind, of memory and forgetfulness, of knowledge and ignorance, and our strange nature as embodied subjects. The story of the meeting of a mind and a city widens and deepens into a celebration of the mystery of the world and of the human creatures who have constructed it.
