The Jail. Experiences in 1916

Machar J. S. The Jail. Experiences in 1916. Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1922. Authorised translation from the Czech by P. Selver. 8vo. 218 pp. Printed by F. Obzina in Czechoslovakia. In this reflective, reportage-style work, Machar details the political repression and harsh conditions endured by Czech patriots and dissidents between 1915 and 1916, which he characterizes as a form of military persecution. Machar traces the legacy of persecution in Czech history—from the aftermath of the Battle of White Mountain through Metternich’s regime to contemporary wartime oppression—showing how recent events fit into a long continuum. Very good condition. Inv. H5ob.
