Beschreibung

The Long Night of the Watchman brings into English translation the writings of the renowned Czech anti-Communist dissident and Catholic thinker Vaclav Benda (1946-1999). An early signatory of Charter 77, the Czechoslovak human rights association, Benda would twice serve as a spokesman. He was a founding member of VONS (the Czech acronym for the Committee to Defend the Unjustly Persecuted) and served a four-year prison sentence for his dissident activities. Benda was a keen analyst of Communist totalitarianism who was heavily involved in many facets of resistance. The writings collected in this volume thus offer a unique perspective on life under a Communist regime. Readers are given eyewitness accounts of crucial, yet little known events such the Christian pilgrimage to Velehrad in 1985. We are also transported back into Benda's workplace as the repercussions of his signing of Charter 77 unfold. And Benda's extended reflections on topics such as the family and totalitarianism and the fate of the Catholicism under Communism display his subtle and exacting mind. The volume is divided into three sections. "Reflections" is comprised of relatively brief texts usually prompted by some event or action, while "Reports and Defenses" is made up of short documents written for a specific purpose and often related to the regular work of Charter 77. The middle section, "Essays and Inquiries," contains Benda's longer pieces of a more philosophical character.
