Introduction by Vaclav Havel
Translated from Czech by George Theiner
These feuilletons became famous in the Prague underground before the Velvet Revolution. Issued monthly in hand-typed and clandestinely photocopied pages, these short essays show Vaculik's unique talent to fuse philosophy, honesty and humor into extraordinarily topical commentaries on everything from Gandhi to glasnost.
