Preparing for our trip to the Czech Republic I purchased a copy of Vaclav Havel's Power of the Powerless with an introduction by Professor Timothy Snyder. I've made this contract with myself that wherever I go abroad I'll delve into appropriate literature from the country, get a book, bring it with me and read it when there. A cultural backcloth to the visit. In situ reading.
Close to our hotel in Prague we spotted this memorial to the Velvet Revolution and returned to picture it with the book.
Power of the Powerless is a challenging although instructive read.
