Ivan Olbracht

Ivan Olbracht

Ivan Olbracht (born "Kamil Zeman") (*January 6 1882 in Semily; † December 20 1952 in Prague) was a Czech writer, journalist and translator of German prose.

The son of writer Antal Stašek, Olbracht studied law and philosophy in Prague and Berlin. In 1905, he first began editing a social-democratic workers' newspaper in Vienna (Historical papers, "Dělnické listy"), and later he did the same in Prague (The people's right, "Právo lidu"). In 1921, Olbracht joined the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and began working as a communist journalist, primarily for "Rudé právo". He was twice imprisoned due to his excessively revolutionary political opinions, first in 1926 (in Silesian Ostrava) and later in 1928 (in the Prague Pankrác prison).

Olbracht wrote stories concerning the legends and people of sub-Carpathian Ruthenia, as well as reports concerning his journeys into the Soviet Union.
