Excerpt: Václav Havel (Czech pronunciation: ) (born 5 October 1936 in Czechoslovakia) is a Czech playwright, essayist, dissident and politician. He was the tenth and last President of Czechoslovakia (198992) and the first President of the Czech Republic (19932003). He has written over twenty plays and numerous non-fiction works, translated internationally. He has received the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Philadelphia Liberty Medal, the Order of Canada, and the Ambassador of Conscience Award. He was also voted 4th in Prospect Magazine's 2005 global poll of the world's top 100 intellectuals. He is a founding signatory of the Prague Declaration on European Conscience and Communism. Beginning in the 1960s, his work turned to focus on the politics of Czechoslovakia. After the Prague Spring, he became increasingly active. In 1977, his involvement with the human rights manifesto Charter 77 brought him international fame as the leader of the opposition in Czechoslovakia; it also led to his imprisonment. The 1989 "Velvet Revolution" launched Havel into the presidency. In this role he led Czechoslovakia and later the Czech Republic to multi-party democracy. His thirteen years in office saw radical change in his nation, including its split with Slovakia, which Havel opposed, its accession into NATO and start of the negotiations for membership in the European Union, which was attained in 2004. ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=63299 ...

Chapters: Bertha Von Suttner, Jaroslav Seifert, Jaroslav Heyrovský. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 20. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Jaroslav Heyrovský (Czech pronunciation: ) (December 20, 1890 March 27, 1967) was a Czech chemist and inventor. Heyrovský was the inventor of the polarographic method, father of electroanalytical chemistry, and recipient of the Nobel Prize in 1959. His main field of work was polarography. Jaroslav Heyrovský was born in Prague on December 20, 1890, the fifth child of Leopold Heyrovský, Professor of Roman Law at the Charles University in Prague, and his wife Clara, née Hanl. He obtained his early education at secondary school until 1909 when he began his study of chemistry, physics, and mathematics at the Charles University in Prague. From 1910 to 1914 he continued his studies at University College, London, under Professors Sir William Ramsay, W. C. McC. Lewis, and F. G. Donnan, taking his B.Sc. degree in 1913. He was particularly interested in working with Professor Donnan, on electrochemistry. During the First World War Heyrovský worked in a military hospital as a dispensing chemist and radiologist, which enabled him to continue his studies and to take his Ph.D. degree in Prague in 1918 and D.Sc. in London in 1921. Heyrovský started his university career as assistant to Professor B. Brauner in the Institute of Analytical Chemistry of the Charles University, Prague; he was promoted to Associate Professor in 1922 and in 1926 he became the University's first Professor of Physical Chemistry. Heyrovský's invention of the polarographic method dates from 1922 and he concentrated his whole further scientific activity on the development of this new branch of electrochemistry. He formed a school of Czech polarographers in the University, and was himself in...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=143705 ... Read more

Extrait : Jiří Kolář (né le 24 septembre 1914, à Protivín en Bohême du Sud - mort le 11 août 2002 à Prague) était un collagiste, poète, écrivain, peintre, traducteur tchèque. Son œuvre se partage à égalité entre la littérature et les arts visuels. Jiří Kolář est issu d'une famille modeste, son père est boulanger et sa mère couturière. Il fait des études de menuiserie avant d'exercer diverses professions. Il expose pour la première fois en 1937 des collages « poétistes ». Son premier recueil de poésie date de 1941. En 1942, avec le théoricien de l'art, Jindřich Chalupecký, le sculpteur Ladislav Zívr, le peintre František Hudeček, les poètes Ivan Blatný, Jiřina Hauková, Josef Kainar et quelques autres artistes, il fonde le « Groupe 42 » (Skupina 42) qui célèbre « l'enchantement de la technique ». Jiří Kolář rencontre Běla en 1944 et l'épouse en 1949. Jiří et Běla ont non seulement produit mais aussi intensément collectionné les œuvres de leurs amis plasticiens. Cette collection, ainsi que certaines de leurs propres œuvres ont été léguées en 2002 par les époux Kolář au musée Kampa de Prague. Comme beaucoup d'autres à la fin de la guerre, Jiří Kolář prend sa carte au parti communiste tchécoslovaque mais contrairement à ceux-ci, ses yeux se déscillent rapidement et il quitte le parti après quelques mois. Il publie plusieurs textes, dont Dny v roce , journal poétique de 1947, dont le second volet en prose...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
