A son remembers his father -- an unsung Czech anti-Communist resistance fighter -- in this powerfully moving memoir. After the fall of Communism, Joseph Hurka traveled to Prague, where his father had fought in the Underground against the Czech-Stalinist government. As the son walks in his father's footsteps, he uncovers a hidden past: he learns of his father's brutal imprisonment, his fortunate release, and his fierce resistance work. This book is also a story of modern Prague and the Czech Republic after the Velvet Revolution. Hurka takes us with him into the heart of Prague, the "Old Town" quarter where Kafka lived, and the lesser-known streets where his father fought for democracy. <I>Fields of Light</I> is finally a loving tribute to a father, a meditation on the relationship between truth and resistance, a tale of personal sacrifice and endurance -- and of history reborn after extraordinary totalitarian efforts to erase it. 888252 6 2001 Fields of Light: A Son Remembers His Heroic Father (Pushcart Editors' Book Award) total:11|5:2|4:8|3:1| 11 45 14 7 903079 188888925X 9781888889253 11 7 4.09 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179321194m/903079.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/903079.Fields_of_Light_A_Son_Remembers_His_Heroic_Father 4 0 false Sun Jan 11 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 18:02:09 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 11:17:20 -0800 2009 more...]]> 903079 188888925X 9781888889253 11 7 4.09 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179321194m/903079.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/903079.Fields_of_Light_A_Son_Remembers_His_Heroic_Father 4 0 false Sun Oct 24 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Fri Apr 03 18:17:14 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 18:21:03 -0700 2009 more...]]> 903079 188888925X 9781888889253 11 7 4.09 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179321194m/903079.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/903079.Fields_of_Light_A_Son_Remembers_His_Heroic_Father 3 0 false Tue Aug 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 17:23:02 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 15:16:41 -0700 2009
