| Description | The paper presents the work of the Czech journalist Ferdinand Peroutka (1895-1978), who was the main commentator on the political development of the so-called First Czechoslovak Republic. His work, as well as his political stance, is more than similar to that of the Nobel laureate François Mauriac (1885-1970) – an author of immense moral and intellectual significance. They both, in their own respective ways, accompanied their compatriots on the path to democracy and freedom. The comparison of the moral and political attitude of these two authors brings some most interesting parallels. |
