Abstract

Václav Havel′s Dopisy Olze (Letters to Olga) were written during his three-year imprisonment from June 1979 to September 1982. They give an impression of the author′s personal situation in these years, but they also contain meditations on art, literature, morals, religion, and philosophy. The paper tries to show that the book is not only a compilation of different personal notes and essayistic reflections, but, first of all, a coherent textual whole of high cultural relevance that reveals the complex unity of its creator′s living and thinking.
