Description
In this Czech-language audiobook, Respekt weekly editor-in-chief Erik Tabery offers a critical view of the Czech Republic from its establishment to the present day, placing current political and social events in their historical and European context. He describes life in an age when a single false social-media post can reach more people than the systematic work of investigative journalists. Less than thirty years after November 1989, democracy and media independence are being questioned, while populists rather than moral and political role models stand at the forefront of the country. Tabery’s thinking is shaped by the reflections of K. H. Borovský, H. G. Schauer, T. G. Masaryk, Ferdinand Peroutka, Václav Černý, Jan Patočka, Erazim Kohák and Václav Havel. Drawing on the great critical thinkers of the democratic tradition, he clearly shows that the risks of the present are best faced not with panic, but with a cool head and determination. The recording is narrated by Jiří Dvořák.
