Description
Readers are presented with a literary text that brings information from behind the scenes not only of the Prague Spring in 1968 and the Velvet Revolution in 1989. It is a captivating story based on facts and presents the year 1968 and Alexander Dubček in a way we do not know. The book "A Year Longer than a Century" provides a gripping, information-rich, and multidimensional picture of the influence of the significant Slovak politician, a key figure of the Prague Spring. This is the successful book by Ľuboš Jurík "Rok dlhší ako storočie," which is being published in Czech translation with a preface by writer and Charter 77 signatory Eva Kantůrková and a photographic supplement. The supplemented, corrected, and revised Czech edition is being published on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Prague Spring. ... "The sun occasionally showed you its face. It was the Prague Spring of 1968... The scenes of that brave attempt have been indelibly etched in our memory, and our inability to help you still weighs on the conscience of the free world." MARGARET THATCHER, Prime Minister of Great Britain, at the 6th joint meeting of the House of People and the House of Nations of Czechoslovakia on September 18, 1990, during an official state visit.
