Václav Havel – Tomki Němec, Post Scriptum | Photography Book

Product detailed description

About the Book

Post Scriptum is my personal photographic reflection on Václav Havel.

The book is my most extensive photographic publication to date. Across 372 pages, it presents 185 photographs, many of which have never previously appeared in book form.

I conceived the book as a personal remembrance and a journey back to Václav Havel. I have accompanied the photographs with my own introductory text and captions.

The publication comes out in 2026 to mark what would have been Václav Havel's 90th birthday. I am publishing it independently, and it will not be available through regular book distribution. It is sold exclusively through this online store.

The Story Behind the Book

Post Scriptum means "what was written afterwards".

When I was preparing my previous book of Václav Havel photographs, I thought I was symbolically bringing my photographic journey connected with him to a close.

But photographs remain. And so do memories.

That is why I conceived Post Scriptum as another personal reflection, presenting photographs that had not previously been published in book form.

It is not simply a tribute to an important historical figure. It is also my own remembrance of a man I had the opportunity to photograph for many years.

I hope this book brings you closer to Václav Havel and to the moments that often remained outside his official public image.
