Online Talk: Novelist/Poet Marek Toman
September 22, 2022, 3:00 PM
The Embassy of the Czech Republic, in collaboration with Classrooms without Borders, invites you to an online discussion with novelist, poet and translator Marek Toman on September 22, 2022, from 3-4:30 pm. Toman is passionately dedicated to Jewish culture—the culture of his father, whom he lost early in life. In his novels, he mainly devotes himself to historical topics. He is happy to surprise readers with forgotten episodes of Czech and European history which he researches thoroughly. In his works for children, he loves to present classics of world literature, showing children the magic power of reading. Join us for an afternoon wandering through the works of this celebrated author.

Born in 1967, Toman studied philosophy at Charles University, then he worked as an art editor on Czech Radio. Since 1997 he has been employed at the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Between 2000 and 2010, Toman worked as a diplomat in Estonia and Hungary.
