Lit.: anonym: World Drama. In web BBC, listopad 2009 (anotace) – Cit.: Vaclav Havel is the dissident playwright who became President of the Czech Republic after the collapse of communism in 1989. Leaving is his first return to writing since his time as Czech leader, and tells of a former Chancellor Vilem Rieger of an unnamed state coming to terms with his recent loss of power.But does leaving necessarily mean that he, his mistress and his extended family have to leave the state villa, which has been their home for years?
