Vladislav Vančura
Biography
Vladislav Vančura was born in 1891. He initially qualified and practised as a doctor but before giving it up to become a full-time writer. He was a founding member of the Czech Communist Party in 1921 but was expelled in 1929. He worked for the Communists during the German occupation but was caught and shot by a firing squad in 1942. His books tend to be lyrical and poetical and while he did introduce left-wing politics into some of his works this was more out of a sense of a duty.
