1984: George Orwell and Czechoslovakia | 1984: George Orwell and Czechoslovakia
|
The main themes of this publication are Czechoslovak reflections on the work of British writer George Orwell, especially his famous novels 1984 and Animal Farm. The authors of this book deal not only with exile and samizdat editions of the novels, their creation and dissemination in an unfree society, but also with works of art influenced by Orwell's work. They also pay attention to images of Orwell's 1984 in Czechoslovakia, including the repression of opponents of the communist regime and expressions of solidarity with political prisoners.

The book will be available for purchase at our events and in the bookstore Kosmas
