Jan Reich studied at Prague's film academy, FAMU, in the 1960s and shortly after kicked off his career by working for various publications. In 1968 when the Russian tanks rolled in, it made him go to France where he stayed a year - but missing Prague, he returned to then communist Czechoslovakia. He photographed like a journalist, wanting to capture that which was disappearing or forgotten, which shows a side of the city that no longer even exists. In this book, we see the city in a very grey portrayal, not because the photographs are black and white, but because everything just felt that way during the time. A beautiful and shadowy glimpse into a Prague that is almost sad, waiting to be liberated and free, alive with color once again.
