The American historian, author and Pulitzer Prize winner will present the Czech editions of two of her most important works.

The book Between East and West is a record of a journey around the borderlands of the West, from Kaliningrad to Odessa, as well as an important attempt to understand the region’s history and cultural diversity. The Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Central Europe, 1944–1956 is an exceptional study of the process by which totalitarian regimes are established.

The books, translated by Petruška Šustrová, will be on sale at the venue.
