Ladislav Heryán: Oddball on this Earth
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: October 19, 2016, 19:00 – 21:00
Exotem Na Této Zemi (Oddball on this Earth, Portál, 2016) by Ladislav Heryán, which is subtitled O božím milosrdenství mezi námi (On God’s Mercy Among Us), centres on an understanding for people’s life stories.
With a feel for Greek and Hebrew as well as for a witty point, Heryán, a priest known as “the pastor of the underground”, takes us on a tour of unexpected corners of the fates of particular individuals. The cleric, regarded by many as unconventional, has written a book that is completely exceptional in the context of Czech spiritual literature. Ladislav Heryán will accompany a reading and discussion with songs performed on guitar.
The evening will be hosted by Salesian Jaroslav Kuchař, director of the Portál publishing house.
