Prague: Fin de Siècle by Derek Sayer is a cultural and intellectual history that examines how late-19th- and early-20th-century Prague became a crucible of modernity. Focusing on the city’s unique blend of Czech, German, and Jewish influences, Sayer explores the political tensions of the waning Habsburg Empire, the flourishing of artistic and literary innovation, and the emergence of new social identities. He argues that Prague’s fin-de-siècle milieu—shaped by nationalism, cosmopolitanism, and rapid urban change—created a vibrant, sometimes contradictory cultural landscape that helped define Central European modernism.
