Disturbing the Peace by Václav Havel
Disturbing the Peace is a series of essays by playwright-turned-heroic-politician Václav Havel. I've been meaning to read more about Havel, whose life and work sounds pretty amazing. This was recommended as an introduction.
Kanzelsberger is one of many bookstores in Wenceslas Square. It has a large English language section in its basement, with plenty of Czech authors translated into English. Kafka and Kundera are both well-represented. I also saw the science fiction book by the author who invented the word "robot" (I didn't realize he was Czech).
