This
section contains several references to websites that mention Jan
Weiss and his work (I expect to complement this list continually).
The Slovak theater
TEATRO TATRO, which attempts in its project MARINGOTKA to map out
new opportunities of influencing theater audience, chose as the
first thing in its repertoire Jan Weiss’s short story and staged
it, calling it Bianka Braselli – dáma s dvoma hlavami (Bianka
Braselli, a Two-Headed Lady). The theater website confirms this:
(http://www.teatrotatro.sk/repertoar/bianka-braselli/).
Jan Weiss as the
founder of Czech science fiction is presented by the sci-fi portal
SCIFIWORLD (http://scifiworld.cz/author.php?AuthorID=78).
What can eluciadate Weiss’s legionnaire experience to
us is the impressive view of the legionnaire anabasis in the interview with
Václav Bartuška, who tracked the
Czechoslovak legions in Russia
(http://www.national-geographic.cz/projekty/ceska-mozaika/
strasne-dlouha-unavna-cesta-domu-526/).
