Václav Havel: Care for the State

Ceremonial presentation of the book Václav Havel: Péče o stát (Václav Havel: Care for the State), which compiles speeches from his first years as president of the independent Czech Republic. The collection shows how Václav Havel was “building” a modern democratic state, on what he based his presidency and how he attempted to connect the threads of individual areas of society so that the country could prosper. Thus, between the lines, the author presents the fundamental problems of Czech politics in the 1990s in a dramatic arc – from the disillusionment of the collapse of Czechoslovakia to the disillusionment of the political crisis that preceded his Rudolfinum speech.
