In 1989 I was 26 years old. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the symbol of a world split into the East and the West, the revolutionary wave arrived in Prague too. It took less than two months for playwright, author, dissident, prisoner of conscience, and brewery worker Václav Havel to be elected the head of a state that for forty years had terrorized its people in the name of Communism and a better tomorrow.

Interesting facts about the book:

• I examined 67 622 images shot on 35 mm film.
• I selected new, hitherto unpublished photos.
• I also included “iconic images”, for example the photo of President Havel surprised by a wave on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean, which won a prize at World Press Photo in 1991, or a photo of Václav Havel walking away along a sandy beach in Portugal.
• I am self-publishing the book and if you are interested in buying a copy, please send me an email and I will contact you with the details.
• With the photo book entitled Václav Havel – Tomki Němec, Photographs, I am bringing my work concerning this exceptional person to a symbolic conclusion. It is the final chapter in my life’s story connected with Václav Havel.
