Autorenporträt

Ludvík Vaculík (1926-2015) was a leading figure of Czech dissident literature of the 1970s and '80s. He began his writing career as a journalist and a member of the Communist party, of which he grew disillusioned. Banned from writing, Vaculík turned to writing samizdat and publishing the work of other banned writers. Gerald Turner has been one of the leading translators of the Czech language since the early 1980s. He was personal translator to the playwright and President of the Czech Republic Václav Havel.
