A Jew in Communist Prague #2

Two young people — a fair-haired woman clutching a book and a red-capped young man in an overcoat — walk the cobblestone streets of a gray, watchful city, a Soviet hammer-and-sickle emblem looming on the wall behind them. Vittorio Giardino's beautifully restrained linework captures the quiet tension of life under Communist Prague, where even a walk through the city feels weighted with unspoken stakes. Subtitled "Adolescence," this third volume in the series continues what *The Washington Post* called "moving, a masterwork, beautiful" — and the cover alone makes that praise easy to believe.
