summary
Jaroslav Veis, an experienced journalist and writer, presents his interview with Dr. Michal Anděl. Revolving around general as well as private topics and structured mostly in a chronological order, the interview explores the crucial periods of Dr. Anděl’s personal maturation and professional career, which was influenced by the events of the 1950s, 1960s, the normalisation period, and the atmosphere and approaches typical of that time. The post-revolutionary flourishing of the Czech medical community is reflected in the interview through the development of Anděl’s “home” institution, Third Faculty of Medicine – its achievements and pioneering research activities – as well as in the relationships between co-workers and within the family circle.
The book of memoirs is supplemented with several of Anděl’s solemn Dean’s speeches and texts and a rich photo documentation.
