Capek is one of only a handful Czech artists known world-wide. a I teach his plays and essays to my American college students, and respond to Capek with amazement. Despite the historical and geographical distance between an American College student and a Czech writer of the first half of the 20th Century his works, his ideas, his commitment to the humanistic values that are so refreshingly free of any ideology, and his commitment to the "Radical Center" continue to strike chord among the young people in America, and I dare to say elsewhere as well. Preserving his home is a matter of larger cultural policy of the Czech Republic. Capek is a national treasure, and abandoning his former home by the Government sends all the wrong signals. Please consider the postponing of the sale a matter of national commitment to Capek's ideas - ideas that any civilized and cultured society would surely like to claim as their own.
Thank you.
