About the Book

El aristocrata Karel Adam Arco, Adi, enfermo, asiste a la asanace, es decir la demolicion y reconstruccion al estilo europeo del ghetto judio de Praga durante el siglo XIX. Entre sus actividades favoritas estan la esgrima con su amigo Soli y las visitas a los prostibulos, aunque suele ser fiel a una sola prostituta. Tres acontecimientos daran inicio a una nueva etapa: la muerte de una de las prostitutas a manos de un presunto fantasma, Kleinfleisch; la llegada a la ciudad de una supuesta princesa judia y el aviso de la llegada a Praga de su primo Mani. Tras el primer asesinato, el de Rosina, una de las prostitutas que habia tenido bajo su proteccion, llega Mani con hidrocloro, una droga que le curara momentaneamente de sus males y que no es otra cosa que heroina. La ciudad esta inmersa en plena convulsion politica: a medida que avanza el nacionalismo checo, aumentan los problemas con la poblacion alemana y el antisemitismo, asi como las intrigas entre Viena y Praga. A raiz de una breve estancia en Stanov, en casa de sus padres, Adi comenzara a verse afectado por toda la situacion politica, al llegarle voces de la involucracion de su padre, de su primo e incluso del rico propietario vecino. Tras volver a Praga, practicamente asiste al asesinato de otra prostituta. La actuacion de la policia, sin embargo, le hace sospechar cierta condescendencia oficial para con los asesinatos. El conde adquiere una casa nueva, donde vivira con Gita, prostituta, y Berenika, la princesa judia que compra. Para ayudarse a pagar, pues es una familia noble en decadencia, vende la heroina que previamente habia comprado en grandes cantidades. La casa, sin embargo, se encuentra por lo visto en lo que ha de ser en el futuro la Plaza de Carlos y por tanto el ayuntamiento intenta por todos los medios echarle. Un careo en el ayuntamiento provoca el desenlace: tras un duelo-trampa, finalmente se entera de los oscuros intereses que hay tras la asanace y de la verdadera identidad del fantasma, que no es otro que su primo. / The novel takes place in the 19th century and traces the history of reckless, debauched and impoverished earl Arca, whose advent of modern times took his favorite toy - women, and offered a new entertainment: heroin.

The link between the deaths is yet to be sought after track criminals, as police first, second, Adam Charles, Count Arco, whom the girl's death affects a person who is eating itself severe respiratory diseases. Into an uneasy period of anti-government demonstrations and provocations
