The collection concludes with a “taking stock” interview from last year.
The author of the essay and the interviews conducted in exile and last year is Karel Hvížďala, who also organised for and translated texts in German in the second half.
The book is being issued out in connection with Karel Schwarzenberg’s 78th birthday.
