In the Manuscript of Jan Čep, a book of the week for the radio broadcast of Radio Free Europe was prepared. In this paper, he introduced the novel ‘Fox and Camelia’ by Italian writer Ignazio Silone, to the audience behind the Iron Curtain. The novel is based on the contrasts of political ideology and human honesty, against the privacy of man to the indiscriminate means of political struggle. It condemns the conviction of certain methods of political struggle and violence. The presentation of this book was probably broadcasted on July 1st, 1960.
Jan Čep had been contributing with the Book of the Week for almost fifteen years, from the start of the broadcast in 1951 until 1965. He was a member of Radio Free Europe with authors who have not been allowed to publish in the Communist countries. Jan Čep selected for this program mainly Catholic-oriented writers and new French and Anglo-American literature. Čep's work could not be published for almost forty years in Czechoslovakia. Until 1989, his work done under exile was also made available to Czech readers. His texts from the Book of the Week program in 2015 thanks to Petr Komenda and Jan Zatloukal, who worked on the materials from the archives of the Institute of Slavonic Studies in Paris, where Jan Čep lived in exile, was made available too. The machine-readable text of this program is located in this Parisian archive.

Vincas Pietaris (1850–1902) was a Lithuanian national activist and writer. He is famous for writing Algimantas, the first historical novel in Lithuanian. The novel was published for the first time in the United States in 1904–1906. (It was published for the second time in interwar Lithuania.) The novel takes a popular approach to the formation of the Medieval Lithuanian state, and the heroic struggles between the Lithuanian dukes and their enemies. By glorifying Lithuania's past, it influenced Romantic nationalism. Because of this, Algimantas became very popular in interwar Lithuania.
However, the novel and its author were practically unknown in Soviet Lithuania. Gediminas Ilgūnas started to work on his biography of Pietaris in about 1980. He travelled twice to Russia, where Pietaris had lived and died. The biography was published during Gorbachev's perestroika in 1987. At that time, various historical studies and popular works about the history of the Lithuanian state were becoming more popular among different sections of the population. Various historical issues relating to the Medieval and modern state were being discussed in the Sąjūdis press. The biography of Vincas Pietaris was part of this growing movement. The novel Algimantas was published later in 1989, and became very popular with the Lithuanian public.

Ez a környezetvédők által összeállított, Budapest Főváros Levéltárában őrzött, kézzel rajzolt térkép a gát várható katasztrofális következményeire hívja fel a figyelmet Magyarország és Csehszlovákia közös határa mentén. Bemutatja a környezet várható súlyos károsodását (a vízfelület összezsugorodását, az iszaposodást, a gyomosodást, a partmenti erdősáv pusztulását stb.). A dokumentum a várható belvíz veszélyre is felhívta a figyelmet. A térkép alapján jól látható, hogy a leginkább fenyegetett magyarországi térség a Szigetköz és a Dunakanyar volt.

The footage follows Margaret Thatcher's visit to Gdansk in 1988. Thatcher met with opposition leaders and discussed situation in Poland. Material gives insight into the reality of the last years of socialist Poland. It shows the admiration for Western leaders and the efforts of Polish hosts to impress the foreign guest. It also vividly shows ties between the democratic opposition and the Catholic Church.
In the footage Thatcher participates in a dinner party, hosted by Fr. Henryk Jankowski at the vicarage of St. Brygida Church (an unofficial church of the Gdansk's opposition). Despite serious deficiencies in the country, British Prime Minister is being hosted with great honours and the abundant dinner includes roasted pheasants. The video is a raw footage, recorded with an amateur camera, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of this meeting.
