This book is a biography of Jan Hus (ca. 1370-1415) in the context of religious and ecclesiastical-political conflicts at the time of the Great Western Schism. Jan Hus is presented as university master, preacher and publicly active intellectual. The milestones of his career are connected with the focal themes of his activity. In the background of every topic, there is the question of the motives of Hus’s execution at the Council of Constance. This book is an augmented English translation of the 2015 Czech edition.
