Nostic’s riding-hall was built in 1765 next to Malostransky palace which belonged to the noble Nostic family. Today the building is home to the Faculty of Physical Sciences and Sport of the Charles University. We invite you to a literary gathering in the room of the former riding-hall.

In the spirit of modern storytelling about the so called ‘places in memory’ which find their way out through autobiographical motives, the author approaches stories from her Viennese family with Jewish-Catholic origins which is dispersed around the world due to political circumstances. Through combining history and fiction she creates a tragicomic novel-like portrayal of a restless and cruel 20th century.
