Krátky popis
“It is the best-run and highest-quality Czech newspaper in the
entire free world.” With these heart-warming words Jiří Voskovec
belauded Hlas domova, the exile periodical issued by František Váňa
in remote Australia for almost three decades. And yet, this book is
about more than just Hlas domova; it is also about the rise of an
alternative Czechoslovak exile centre in Melbourne. If the Council
of Free Czechoslovakia aspired to be an umbrella organisation
coordinating exile activities throughout individual countries, its
disunity and the constant infighting that characterised this
organisation gradually led to an erosion of confidence and a steep
decline in its authority in the eyes of the entire political
diaspora. This naturally led to the heavy atomisation of exiles
around the world and to the emergence of several “power” centres of
Czechoslovak exile life, with Melbourne gaining prominence thanks
to the strong community of Czechoslovaks and especially as the
result of František Váňa and his associates’ activities. In a
certain sense, Váňa was the “ideal” exile, a kind of reference
figure in the Czech exile community, someone you could compare to
only a few dozen equally versatile, generally recognised and
selflessly working individuals (Ferdinand Peroutka, Pavel Tigrid
and Josef Škvorecký, to name a few), although they generally
enjoyed better starting conditions than their colleague in
inhospitable and isolated Australia.
