Description
Once upon a time, there was Vlasta Burian... This epitaph was chosen by the great Czech actor himself when he was at the height of his fame. Experienced journalist and author of several publications Ivan R. Černý traces the life of Vlasta Burian from his early youth in his hometown of Liberec, through his youthful years in Žižkov, his first theatrical steps, his career as a football goalkeeper, his conquest of the Czech theater scene, his famous film roles, and the complicated period of the aging comedian after World War II. Vlasta Burian naturally plays the leading role in the book, but thanks to the sensitively used memories of his contemporaries, there is also ample space devoted to vividly depicting the atmosphere in which the great comic excelled. In addition to the main protagonist, other prominent figures from the interwar period also appear on the scene. "One Vlasta Burian" in this knowledgeable and also kind narrative is not his only hero.
