From the Publisher
"Unquestionably [Havel's] finest work...Part autobiography, part history, part esthetics, [it] finds its unity in the personal qualities that catapulted a lonely dissenter...into prominence as the reluctant president of his country....Disturbing the Peace leaves no room for controversy about his place in the moral pantheon of our century."--The New York Times Book Review
"Merits our utmost attention....A truly Jeffersonian vision...That vision, so respectful of human rights in Czechoslovakia, could affect social change in any country."--Washington Post Book World
From the Inside Flap
An intimate history of Czechoslovakia under communism; a meditation on the social and political role of art, and a triumphant statement of the values underlying all the recent revolutions in Central and Eastern Europe.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. On the eve of his fiftieth birthday, Vaclav Havel looks back on his life in the theatre, the literary politics of his early years and the stagnation that followed the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. Havel also discusses his part in his country's struggle to restore morality and civic responsibility to public life and the price he has paid for this. Although in many ways this book stands as an informal autobiography of the playwright turned statesman, these eloquent and often witty interviews do much more than just recapitulate how Vaclav Havel helped transform Czechoslovakia into a democracy. Havel gives insights into Czech history, the social and political roles of art, and a statement of the values underlying recent events in Eastern Europe. A national bestseller. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket's spine faded by Sun. First Edition. Seller Inventory # ABE-1690664088175
