The Finale of the Great Powers' Concert

In November 2022, the Faculty of Arts and the Catholic Theological Faculty of Charles University in Prague hosted an international conference that offered various perspectives on the events in the Danubian dualist state during the final phase of its existence and on the situation in the Czech lands after 1918. This collective monograph presents revised and interconnected versions of the papers delivered at the conference, along with several additional texts. The literary, social, and cultural reflections on this pivotal period not only offer a glimpse into the past but also provide a deeper understanding of how fundamental historical turning points influence human thought and creativity.
