""The Secret of Secrets," the latest novel by US thriller writer Dan Brown, has been topping bestseller lists all over the world since its release in early September. In Czechia, which has a population of 10 million, about 120,000 copies were sold in the first week alone a record, says literary critic Jana Podskalska.

Prague maintains deep associations with Franz Kafka, born there in 1883 and part of the city's German-speaking Jewish minority. Kafka wrote novels, short stories and letters in German, including The Metamorphosis and The Trial. Visitors can follow Kafka-related tours or visit landmarks such as the Statue of Franz Kafka, his birthplace and the Franz Kafka Museum. Prague also serves as a central setting in Dan Brown's The Secret of Secrets, which topped global bestseller lists and sold about 120,000 copies in Czechia during its first week — a national record that generated overnight queues and intense public excitement.
