Hana Zagorová: Žít tady a teď (2026)

Hana Zagorová is undoubtedly one of the greatest legends of Czechoslovak pop music. She worked on the music scene for almost sixty years, spending nine of them at the very top. During that time, she recorded more than 900 songs, won the affection of millions of fans across generations, received countless awards and remains the best-selling Czech singer of all time. She devoted her acting talent and creative energy fully to her distinctive interpretation of songs, becoming a singer with an unmistakable style. Those who listened to her songs believed in what she sang from the heart. This official biography was created to mark Hana Zagorová’s eightieth birthday, which she did not live to celebrate, in September 2026. Experienced writer Pavel Hénik, also the author of the authorised biography of another music legend, Václav Neckář, guides readers through Hana’s entire life in a vivid biographical account, covering her career in full while also exploring her personal life and sensitively describing the dramas she experienced. The book was created with the kind permission of Štefan Margita and in cooperation with the Hana Zagorová Foundation.
