Petr Pithart: After Eighty-Nine
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: December 1, 2015, 19:00 – 21:00
Petr Pithart introduces his new book about his active years in politics in the 1990s and his time away from politics to the present day, exploring consequences and context, crises and “promising outlooks”…
An interview about how politics glows red hot and cools to become history, and about history itself, with the participation of Jiří Padevět, director of the Academia publishing house (which has issued Pithart’s reflective memoirs) and the author of much-discussed Protectorate “guidebooks”; Petr Havlík a player in 1990s politics who now maps its consequences from today’s perspective; and historian Jan Rychlík, an expert on Czech and Central and Eastern European history, who will approach the subject from the perspective of his field.
The multi-guest interview will be helmed by Jan Vít, editor of the book Po devětaosmdesátém (After Eighty-Nine).
