Review of 'Summer meditations' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

From being imprisoned to becoming the president...

A brilliant and enlightening read, Havel's "Summer Meditations" is in essence a collection of his thoughts rather than a tedious drawn-out political essay produced by other "political figures."

The best thing about this particular book is how accessible it is regardless of your knowledge on politics and political history. Havel's writing is easy to digest and not refined to fit a set ideology (he himself admits that he does not believe to be either left or right, socialist or capitalist, etc.).

Summer meditations is an organic take on politics, one that keeps morality into account and rejects the idea of being tied to one political direction. This is one of those books worth reading regardless of your political/social background.
