Description:

"Published to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Czechoslovakia's liberation from communism in 1989, The Velvet Philosophers tells the remarkable story of the 'underground university', through which western academics, artists and intellectuals collaborated with those who sought to keep culture alive in a country where the Communist Party had tried to suppress it." "This study, written by the secretary to the Jan Hus Educational Foundation which initiated the enterprise, draws on archival material and secret police files, as well as interviews and published records, to describe what was probably the most successful and influential attempt ever made to rescue culture from the Communists."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
