Description Rediscovering the journalistic work of Ferdinand Peroutka is still an important task, even fifty years after his death. His work was closely connected to the history of the 20th century - a period which is proving more and more difficult to place into the correct historical context - and therefore reading and understanding Peroutka in the context of Czech culture and politics should help us understand who we are now in the present times. This paper presents the question of whether, in Peroutka's case, writing means presenting a testimony or if it is more a desire to be understood and how to interpret this attitude today. It concentrates on Peroutka's vision of freedom - the freedom of the press and a democratic society - two central themes of his deliberations.
