From the very beginning, the decision on publishing a book of radio programs collided with the fact that Václav Havel never counted the speeches and interviews for the media in his work. As a writer and playwright, he considered the spoken word to be a specific genre that could not withstand the criteria of well-thought-out formulations of written text.
Václav Havel's work is contained in his Writings (Torst 1999, resp. 2008), but other sources are important for understanding his thinking, including interviews for print and electronic media.
The Václav Havel Library therefore decided to establish a completely new series, in which these texts will be published as another important source of knowledge not only of the life and work of Václav Havel, but also of the entire Czechoslovak and Czech society. The editor Tereza Hubáčková, with the help of editors Jan Zelenka and Martin Vidlák, were responsible for the thorough editing of the first volume, and historians Jan Socha and Jiří Suk provided the book with a rich note apparatus. The index was compiled by bibliographer Daniel Řehák. The graphic design was created by Luděk Kubík. The public can compare the resulting book form with the original recordings stored in the Archives of Czech Radio or in the Documentation Center of the Václav Havel Library.
