We also boast the largest collection of English language children’s books in Prague, including many of your childhood favorites and more contemporary bestsellers.
The Globe staff are open, well-read and always friendly and would be happy to help you find a specific title you are looking for or to suggest something special that you may not have heard of. If we don’t have the title that you are looking for, we would be happy to order it specially for you.
We are also proud founders of and hosts to Prague’s first English language book club, the Globe Reading Group/Book Club, which meets every two weeks to discuss and analyze a selection that is chosen by the members. Book club membership is free and open to the public and its members receive special discounts and other promotions. We also have a long running Creative Writing Group to workshop stories and poetry.
Meet The Author
Santanu Bhattacharya
Sunday 3rd May 19:00
Meet Author Santanu Bhattacharya as he reads from and discusses his latest book – Deviants
Event will be moderated by Lenka Hronová
Vivaan, a teenager in India’s silicon plateau, has discovered love on his smartphone. Intoxicating, boundary-breaking love. His parents know he is gay, and their support is something Vivaan can count on, but they don’t know what exactly their son gets up to in the online world.
For his uncle, born thirty years earlier, things were very different. Mambro’s life changed forever when he fell for a male classmate at a time, and in a country, where the persecution of gay people was rife under a colonial-era law criminalising homosexuality.
And before that was Mambro’s uncle Sukumar, a young man hopelessly in love with another young man, but forced by social taboos to keep their relationship a secret at all costs. Sukumar would never live the life he yearned for, but his story would ignite and inspire his nephew and grand-nephew after him.
Bold and bracing, intimate and heartbreaking, Deviants examines the histories we inherit and the legacies we leave behind.
