Zbyněk Fišer | Egon Bondy and State Security
Petr Blažek, Miroslav Vodrážka
Annotation
The main topic of this publication is the various relations of the writer and philosopher Zbyněk Fišer with the State Security. Zbyněk Fišer used the pseudonym Egon Bondy since the late 1940s. In four periods he was successively a collaborator of the communist secret police under the code names "Klíma", "Zbyněk", "Mao" and "Oskar". From 1961 until 1989, he was successfully deployed in many State Security operations.
The book has two parts. The first is an interpretive study by Miroslav Vodrážka entitled History as an Unraveling of the Openness of Life and Work. Its title is inspired by the theoretical writing of the postmodern philosopher Umberto Eco, The Open Work. The study focuses on the exploration of the life and work of Zbyněk Fišer (aka Egon Bondy) and the various positions of the Bondy myth, which is specific in that it was created over a long period of time not only by the author himself, various actors and groups, but above all was not possible without the secret plans of the StB. The second part of the book is an edition of archival State Security documents from 1949-1989, selected and critically annotated by historian Petr Blažek.
