The courage of Czech writers is legendary. During the Cold War they kept their nation's conscience alive by clandestine publishing while imprisoned as \"dissidents\" or collecting garbage, washing windows or selling fish as \"non-persons,\" and then they took the lead in the Velvet Revolution of 1989 that overthrew communism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Europe and the West today -- with its rising nationalism and political extremism -- subtlety, humour and sharp intelligence are needed more than ever, and this volume of stories, poetry, essays and drama showcases some of the best Czech writing on these important topics. The volume also lends insight into the role of Czech writers during two of the darkest periods of Central European history: the struggles against fascism and communism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vaclav Havel, Karel Capek, Ivan Klima\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0930523636\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780930523633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Readers International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.95h x 5.58w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/1995 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/08\/1995","brand":"Vaclav Havel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120440733951,"sku":"9780930523633","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a203f789-645d-4915-a6be-6345748c4aa0.jpg?v=1687414327","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-tolerance-vaclav-havel-9780930523633","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
