In answering, they deliver a solid classic. What an inspiring dialogue!"--Petr Pithart, Czech politician and signatory of Charter 77 "It's an interesting book because simply by considering the ideas the authors of In Quest of History put forth, the reader loses his certainty of what is true and what is the common consensus--he becomes an individual."--Milan Kundera, author of "The Unbearable Lightness of Being"
