The greatest Czech sci-fi author, [hq]Josef Nesvadba[/hq], died unexpectedly. Although he was 78, he was still full of plans, and many had looked forward to reading his memoirs. Sadly that was not to be.  In an interview for Radio Prague ten years ago, Josef Nesvadba talked about writing a polical fantasy about the Czechoslovak president Edvard Benes. The novel, [hq]"Peklo Benes"[/hq], was finally published in 2002 and remains the last work Josef Nesvadba published.  Josef Nesvadba was born in 1926 in Prague. Right after the end of the Second World War he enrolled to study medicine and five years later he received his degree, specialising in psychiatry. For all his working life Nesvadba was a practicing psychiatrist, who very much contributed to the promotion of psychotherapy in Czechoslovakia, and a deep knowledge of the human psyche transpires in his writing. <a href="http://www.radio.cz/en/article/65895" target="_blank">In Passing</a></blockquote>
