As a playwright; a dissident; and a politician; Vaacute;clav Havel was one of the most important intellectual figures of the late twentieth century. Working in an extraordinary range of genres ndash; poetry; plays; public letters; philosophical essays; and political speeches ndash; he left behind a range of texts so diverse that scholars have had difficulty grappling with his oeuvre as a whole.In Reading Vaacute;clav Havel; David S. Danaher approaches Havelrsquo;s remarkable body of work holistically; focusing on the language; images; and ideas which appear and reappear in the many genres in which Havel wrote. Carefully reading the original Czech texts alongside their English versions; he exposes what in Havelrsquo;s thought has been lost in translation. A passionate argument for Havelrsquo;s continuing relevance; Reading Vaacute;clav Havel is the first book to capture the fundamental unity of his vast literary legacy.
