Summary/Abstract: He spent eight years, five months and three days in prison. Though he intended to render this stage of his life into literary form, all that remains are fragmentary accounts touching on his remand in Ruzyně and his time at Mírov, Valdice and other places where he was held against his will. Unfortunately, and as Václav Havel did, he regarded his prison experience as incommunicable, although certain aspects of imprisonment are indeed very hard to comprehend for those unfamiliar with that environment. The paper’s author attempts to explain it to them.
