A pivotal figure in the Velvet Revolution and later president, Václav Havel was a distinguished Czech playwright, essayist, and dissident. His early dramatic works sharply critiqued the absurdity of the totalitarian regime, exploring themes of alienation and identity loss within a bureaucratized society. Havel masterfully employed absurdity and wordplay to expose the hypocrisy and inefficiency of power. His essays and letters from prison further deepened his philosophical reflections on responsibility, truth, and freedom, shaping his legacy as an intellectual and human rights advocate.
