Texts by Vaclav Havel (1936-2011),
writer and so called "dissident" under the prosovietic regime; then President of Czekoslovakia (1989-92),
first President of the Czech Republic (1993-2003:
The Power of the Powerless (1978) - 47p

This text has been written by Vaclav Havel for the Polish trade Union Solidarnosc
as a description of what it means to live within the truth.
It describes what is true "dissidence" (as the media at that time used to name
the form of resistance that developed in Eastern European countries.

This text is fascinating because it can be read on many levels:
1) As a historical document that illustrates how people in the opposition
in soviet dominated countries understood their commitment to justice and truth.
2) As a description in what consists resistance under a totalitarian regime.
3) As an inspiration for finding a true life attitude in face of any ideology,
whether it is totalitarian as in then soviet dominated countries
or whether it is capitalist under the domination and exploitation of market economy
that imposes a pattern of thinking and living.
4) Or finally as a call for living a free spiritual life (living within the truth)
at the image of Jesus Christ, or of people such as Buddha, Gandhi, Martin Luther King
or similar, who have been in their own way "great dissidents" par excellence.
