Good-Bye Samizdat

Twenty Years of Czechoslovak Underground Writing

Marketa Goetz-Stankiewicz

Northwestern University Press, 1992

Good-bye, Samizdat offers the first collection of the best of Czechoslovakia's samizdat, underground texts from the era 1948 through 1990. Divided into three sections, the volume includes fiction, cultural and political works, and philosophical essays.

Taken together, they capture the artistic and intellectual mood of a country situated at a focal point between East and West at a fascinating point in history.
