Czech Republic’s foreign minister has been fired in a government reshuffle less than half a year before the parliamentary election.

PRAGUE Milan Kundera, the 91-year-old author of The Unbearable Lightness of Being and other acclaimed novels, has decided to donate his private library and archive to a public library in the Czech city where he was born and spent his childhood. The Moravian Library in the city of Brno said Thursday that the entire collection would be transported from Kunderas apartment in Paris in the fall. Everything will be made available to the public, mostly in digital versions, the library said. Czech Culture Minister Lubomir Zaoralek welcomed the move, calling it an extraordinary cultural event.Kundera fled communist Czechoslovakia and has lived in France since 1975. His later works, written in French, have not yet been translated into Czech.
