About event
Presentation of a new extensive book published by the Museum of Memory of the XX. century. Its main topic is the diverse relations of the writer and philosopher Zbyňek Fišer with the State Security. Zbyněk Fišer used the pseudonym Egon Bondy from the end of the forties. In four periods, he was successively a collaborator of the communist secret police under the code names "Klíma", "Zbyněk", "Mao" and "Oskar". From 1961 to 1989, with breaks, he was successfully deployed in many secret StB actions.
The first part of the book is an interpretive study by Miroslav Vodrážka called History as the unraveling of the openness of life and work. The study mainly examines various myths or the Bond myth, which is specific in that it was created over a long period of time not only by the author himself, various actors and groups, but especially was not possible without the secret plans of the StB. The second part of the book is an edition of StB archival documents from the period 1949-1989, which were selected and provided with a critical note-taking apparatus by the historian Petr Blažek.
