In 2012, in order to commemorate Jan Weiss’s 120^th birthday and the 40^th anniversary of his death, the publishing house Nakladatelství Bor published a biography of Jan Weiss by Vilém Kmuníček, called Hledání Jana Weisse (Searching for Jan Weiss).

The biography clearly captures the life and work of Jan Weiss, a world-famous fiction-writer of the 20th century born in Jilemnice, one of the founders of Czech sci-fi. Weiss’s life-story is presented here in relation to his literary activities. The readers will be captivated above all by the passages concerning the battles over the novel Mlčeti zlato (To Be Silent is Gold), when Weiss was deciding whether to continue writing. Similarly interesting will be Weiss’s conflict with Oleg Sus, following which Weiss eventually stopped writing. What can also be found here is Weiss’s Vzpomínky na dětství (Memories of childhood), which hasn’t been published so far, as well as passages about Weiss’s participation in the Czechoslovak legion and his legionary drama Penza (Penza).

Hledání Jana Weisse (Searching for Jan Weiss) becomes the first specific biography of Jan Weiss ever published, which aims at joining the line of works by Karel Sezima (the first systematic critic of Weiss’s work) – Jaromír Horáček (the first biography of Jan Weiss) – Karel Bogar (a fundamental work for Jan Weiss biographies). The text is supplied by a rich appendix of photographs and is published in the series Odkaz (Legacy).
