In this text, the former dissident describes not only the investigation but also the Faustian guilt he felt after promising to scale back his political activities in exchange for his freedom. As he later recalled in a book-length interview with journalist Karel Hvízdala titled \u003ci\u003eDálkový výslech\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eLong-distance interrogation\u003c\/i\u003e), he hid the roughly one-hundred-page manuscript somewhere, admitting: \"I don't know where it is anymore. Maybe I'll find it someday.\" He never did. The manuscript resurfaced only recently, discovered among the papers of his close friend Zdenek Urbánek. Fragmentary yet strikingly immediate, the text has been reconstructed and published by the Václav Havel Library, with the English translation appearing on the occasion of the world-renowned intellectual's ninetieth birthday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Karolinum Press, Charles University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788024663722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"V\u0026#195;\u0026#161;clav Havel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53514222829749,"sku":"9788024663722","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9788024663722.jpg?v=1791903070","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/lost-and-found-hidden-notes-on-my-first-incarceration-9788024663722","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
