Beschreibung
A conflict of conscience with power and ideology ***** "We no longer put people in prison to remind them that we are right." The novel debut of poet Jiří Šotola (1924—1989), The Society of Jesus (1969), reveals from the year of its first publication the historical parallel hidden within the story set during the violent re-Catholicization of the Czech lands. Father Vojtěch Had, utterly devoted to the dogma of the Jesuit order, gradually compromises his goals and ideals, until he reaches the disillusionment that instead of spreading God's word in the Košumberk estate, he has spent his entire life blindly serving entirely different powers. The text was prepared for publication and accompanied by scholarly commentary from literary historian Erik Gilk.
