Václav Havel

civic responsibility in the postmodern age

"In the first book to bring together Havel's life and work, James Pontuso examines the Czech president's political philosophy. Pontuso argues that Havel's life as a dissident and political leader, his political writings, and his plays are part of a whole and must be understood as intimately connected to one another. In this work, Pontuso explores these connections and explains Havel's prescriptions for political life."--BOOK JACKET.
