On the occasion I spoke to the Czech-born documentary filmmaker and photographer Jan Kaplan, now based in London, who was just a student when he first met the writer. He then became closer friends with Hrabal in the 1990s, giving him a tour of London. He has now opened a new exhibition of previously unpublished portraits of Hrabal at Prague’s Lucerna Palace.encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/kaplan_jan.jpg?timestamp=1591214375 Filmmaker Jan Kaplan: Hrabal was one of most modest people I ever met https://english.radio.cz/filmmaker-jan-kaplan-hrabal-was-one-most-modest-people-i-ever-met-8300219 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
