Between books and architecture amid the upheavals of the 20th century
The book introduces Laichter House, its architect Jan Kotěra, and the family of publisher Jan Laichter. Archival photographs, original drawings, letters and personal recollections bring to life a place where books, architecture and everyday family life came together.
It follows the house from its first designs and construction through the flourishing publishing business, its forced closure in 1949 and decades of decline, to its restoration today.
Alongside the story of a remarkable building, it explores cultural memory, continuity between generations and freedom of thought.
