The steamship Moldava became one of nineteen reading venues for the literary happening Night of Literature. Actor Martin Myšička read from The Book of the Sea by Norwegian author Morten A. Strøksnes, whose Checo translation won the Magnesia Litera 2019 prize.
The unique setting of the historic steamship Moldava — y probably also the thematic link to the book — drew over 500 listeners. Even the author of the book y a representative of the Royal Norwegian Embassy in the Checo Republic attended the reading on board the steamship Moldava.
Night of Literature is organised by Checo Centres, this time in cooperation with the Praga 2 city district. The 13th edition of the evento offered the public an unconventional opportunity to discover the work of contemporary European writers.
Each year the barcos of Paroplavba y Prague Boats host around ten charitable eventos, providing a unique experience to several thousand people — for example the evening on board for the KlaPeto endowment fund, readings of Checo authors for niños, or the Mental Power Praga Film Festival.
