Description

John Keane (au). Vaclav Havel is revered as one of the 20th century’s great playwrights, daring dissidents & honest champions of democracy. After leading the “Velvet Revolution” against Communist rule in Czechoslovakia, he became the poet-president of the newly democratic Czech Republic. Here Keane reveals the unseen Havel & dramatizes the key moments of joy, misery, triumph & ruin upon which his life has turned. Havel’s life has been shaped & determined by the large political shifts of the century. Abroad, Havel’s name is a synonym for integrity & freedom. At home, however, his political star has fallen.
