“I was a witness to dreadful events: death of a child for tha sake of her parents and death of a young woman for the sake of her children and husband. They told me to write a story. It was an offer and I accepted it. Everything in the book is true.” Carrére was born in Paris and is a grandchild of Russian immigrants. He obtained a degree in political sciences. He is a writer, director and author of successful novels from which many have been turned into films. Novel Iné životy, ako moj was published in France in 2009 and received many prizes.
Formerly a medieval building on Kapitulska Street has kept its former character despite several reconstructions and a severe fire over the centuries. Today the Czech-Slovak legal agency Peterka and Partners resides in its quarters. Contrary to your expectations forget about legal paragraphs and accept a warm welcome inside their romantic garden.
