description The Prague Spring was the culmination of a process of cultural, economic and political opening up which, despite its disappointing end, was a turning point in the Cold War and questioned the Europe of Yalta by the way of highlighting the contradictions within the Soviet bloc and reminding the international public of the existence of a central European geopolitical and cultural space that claimed its own dynamics irrespective of the USSR guidelines. The abundant fiction and non-fiction literature generated by the Prague Spring also reached Spain in the form of a large number of translations of Czech and Slovak authors. In addition, the event generated a few original works by Spanish narrators and journalists. These works, both translated and original, are the main object of this paper.
