Description

This startling biography explores the remarkable life of an iconic figure of the twentieth century, Vaclav Havel, author and dissident, who became the first president of the Czech Republic. Vaclav Havel: iconoclast and philosopher king, an internationally successful playwright who became a political dissident and then, reluctantly, a president.

His pivotal role in the Velvet Revolution and the modern Czech Republic makes him a key figure of the twentieth century.

Michael Zantovsky was one of Havel's closest confidants.

Their friendship endured until Havel's death in 2011, making him a rare witness to this most extraordinary life.
