Letters to Olga, written by Václav Havel from prison, is a world-famous work of Czech literature. Now Letters from Olga - the real answers to his philosophical letters - come to light.

However, the main author of the replies to the prisoner was his brother, Ivan M. Havel. Despite the censorship, he included also other persons in the correspondence, especially philosopher Zdeněk Neubauer, the main commenter on Havel's reflections about the ethics of responsibility and the "absolute horizon". Knowingly or unknowingly, also Radim Palouš, Petr Hájek, Anna Šabatová, Jiří Dienstbier, Martin Heidegger, Emanuel Lévinas, Raymond Ruyer, Vladimír Holan and others participated in responding to Letters to Olga.
