Description

Explore a collection of political writing that remains relevant long after its initial publication. Originally released in 1985, this reissued work from Routledge brings together some of the most original essays to emerge from Central and Eastern Europe during the post-war period. This volume serves as a profound study of political insight and social dynamics. The collection is centered around the title essay by Vaclav Havel, written shortly after the formation of Charter 77. Havel's writing raises fundamental questions regarding the potential power held by those who lack formal authority. Following the title essay, various contributors provide responses to the questions Havel poses, creating a deep dialogue about the role of citizens against the state. This book is an essential resource for those studying political philosophy, civil liberties, and the history of political activism in Eastern Europe.
