1.	[no image]	Freedom from Fear and Other Writings from Viking Adult Customer Review: The best writing I've ever read ... about striving democracy in peace... I love That Woman!!!!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Memorandum from Grove Pr Customer Review: This is a brilliant play, a farce about language, bureaucracies, and surveillance. It takes place at the surprisingly real and relevant intersection of Monty Python, The Office, and 1984. This 1967 translation happens to be appallingly tin-eared; but this should not bother the reader too much.... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		The Garden Party: and Other Plays (Havel, Vaclav) from Grove Press Price: $11.90	Click here for more information


4.		To the Castle and Back (Vintage) from Vintage Price: $10.85 Customer Review: What Havel lacks in chronological narrative structure, he makes up for in depth and candor. In the intro to the book, he acknowledges that this is not a traditional memoir and he encourages the reader to move on to the next section should he or she become bogged down in and bored by the intricacies... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Open Letters: Selected Writings, 1965-1990 from Vintage Price: $12.44 Customer Review: Vaclav Havel has been called "the greatest moral thinker of our time" and "a sort of EuroGhandi." While most noted as a playwright, Havel's most important works have been of prose; essays such as "Power of the Powerless" and his "Open Letter to Gustav Husak" allowed his nation to retain hope... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Disturbing the Peace: A Conversation with Karel Huizdala from Vintage Price: $11.21 Customer Review: We Americans tend to forget that Vaclav Havel was an Artist, poet, writer and existentialist thinker long before we seized upon him as our own private "anti-communist hero extraordinaire." And as with most other things, we in the West tended to "fixate" on Havel as just the one-man anti-Communist... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The Power of the Powerless: Citizens Against the State in Central-Eastern Europe from M. E. Sharpe Price: $29.79 Customer Review: a big humble man, a man of intellect courage and principle whose word deserve to be read, Havel is the triumph of the individual who preserves its integrity under communism. Havel is also the living symbol of modern Czechoslovakia, that what makes this nation special and different. .	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Largo Desolato from Grove Weidenfeld Price: $11.05 Customer Review: This absurd play is both funny and tragic at the same time. Professor Leopold Nettles is about to be arrested for an article he wrote, and no one connected with him seems to be overly concerned. Instead, everyone he knows, and some absolute strangers, keep busy trying to make him into what they... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Art of the Impossible: Politics as Morality in Practice from Knopf Customer Review: I hope Havel's own words (he is one of the few presidents who writes his own speeches, consistently with his life motto "living in the truth") will inspire you to buy and read "The Art of Impossible" and other books written by this humble and couragoues man. From Havel's writings one can learn much... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Temptation (Havel, Vaclav) from Grove Press Price: $10.20 Customer Review: I kind of love this play. It is Faust transferred into an institutional scientific Communist world with highlights of bizarre people and behavior. Like an expression of the freakish in symbolic response to the popularity of the irrational Havel makes Faust into Faustka, a scientist from The... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.

12.		Summer Meditations from Vintage Price: $11.05 Customer Review: I first picked up this book before I headed off to college 8 years ago and couldn't put it down. I now pick it up every so often to read through all the pages I underlined and highlighted for brillant thoughts. It's an inspirational book. I reference it as a must read to all the students I mentor... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

16.	[no image]	Letters to Olga: June 1979-September 1982 from Henry Holt & Co (P) Customer Review: First of all, I just gotta say "Don't you love those Czechs?" I mean what other country would have a poet/playwrite/activist/ex-con president? Sorta makes me want to emigrate. Anyway, Havel's volume of letters to his wife, Olga, from prison in the late seventies is quietly revealing. I am used to... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
