The Life and Death of an Aristocrat
- Where: Montmartre Gallery

Letters from the estate of Johannes Nádherný.
Alena Wagnerová, the author of a bestseller on the life of the Czech baroness and benefactor Sidonie Nádherná, explores in her newest book the fate of Sidonie’s brother, a decadent “anti-hero”, chivalrous soul, aesthete and suicide.
The focus of the evening will not just be the book but the work of this unjustly overlooked figure of European format, the Czech-German prose writer and member of the Thirty-sixers Alena Wagnerová.
The event will be hosted by Dora Kaprálová.
