Finding fictional works set in historical background?
 

What is the best way to find fictional titles regarding real life subjects/events/settings? I've been trying to find a good work of fiction on the Prague Summer of 1968 in Czechoslovakia, and google hasn't been much help. Does anybody have any pointers for me?

http://www.bibliotravel.com/locale.php?locale=6\ might have something.

Did you use the search phrase "prague spring"?

No, "Czechoslovakia 1968".

But the question was in general, although I had a specific subject in mind. I thought there might be a good source for this type of thing.

i have a similar question: i'll be traveling around croatia, hungary, romania and bulgaria this summer. i would like to read some works (or a work) from an author by some/one of those countries. i prefer fiction to non, but historical backdrop is ideal (i.e. going to russia = dostoevsky).

thanks in advance.
