The text of Havel's acceptance speech (in absentia) for the International Peace Prize of the German Booksellers Association in 1989 was illustrated by Jiri Kolar with 21 prints of visual poetic collages based upon typography from a Gutenberg bible page that contained the lines, "In the beginning was the word." The book was exhibited in "Celebrate Prague and the Book" at Cooper Union in 1992 and at New York Public Library in 1995. Havel's essay is a "tour de force" on the political power of words. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
