Václav Havel

263 books520 followers
Václav Havel was a Czech playwright, essayist, poet, dissident and politician. He was the tenth and last President of Czechoslovakia (1989–92) and the first President of the Czech Republic (1993–2003). He wrote over twenty plays and numerous non-fiction works, translated internationally. He received the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Philadelphia Liberty Medal, the Order of Canada, the freedom medal of the Four Freedoms Award, and the Ambassador of Conscience Award. He was also voted 4th in Prospect Magazine's 2005 global poll of the world's top 100 intellectuals. He was a founding signatory of the Prague Declaration on European Conscience and Communism.

Beginning in the 1960s, his work turned to focus on the politics of Czechoslovakia. After the Prague Spring, he became increasingly active. In 1977, his involvement with the human rights manifesto 'Charter 77' brought him international fame as the leader of the opposition in Czechoslovakia; it also led to his imprisonment. The 1989 "Velvet Revolution" launched Havel into the presidency. In this role he led Czechoslovakia and later the Czech Republic to multi-party democracy. His thirteen years in office saw radical change in his nation, including its split with Slovakia, which Havel opposed, its accession into NATO and start of the negotiations for membership in the European Union, which was attained in 2004.

Ach ty jeho typogramy. Hrozne me to bavilo. A ikdyz je to par slov, vyjadruje to vsechno. Krasne a presne. Nejenom pomoci slov, ale take umisteni, velikosti pismen nebo obrazcu, do kterych jsou usporadany. A je toho tam mnohem vic, staci pouze hledat.

Hodně se mi líbilo nacházet souvislosti, kritiku doby, vtipy...
Lze otevřít na náhodné straně a nasát konkrétní typogram.
Může se líbit i jako "četba ve dvou".

Typogramy co se vryjí do paměti:
vznik a průběh manželství, Ať jde každý vlastní cestou, Brňenský komplex...

Za vše dvě ukázky z knížky:

Hodně zajímavé a musím říct, že svým způsobem mě tohle dílo nadchlo. Když člověk vezme v potaz dobu, režim, kdy kniha vyšla...No, věřím, že tehdy kniha musela soudruhům hodně zvednout mandle. Výborné a určitě se ke knize ještě někdy vrátím. Zároveň se chystám i na další Havlova díla. Doporučuji!

A nice surprise - can with zero expectations, but there were many small gems here: both personal-touching and social-satirical. Well worth!

Jak mě Havlova absurdní dramata vůbec nenadchla, experimentální poezie mě fakt baví! Hry se slovy a znaky jsou moc fajn, někdy pobaví, někdy donutí se zamyslet, často je to jako luštit rébus.
