VANËK, VLADIMÎR, a son of Moravian parents, was born at Dobrâ, then part of Galicia, in 1895. After graduating from a Junior Commercial College in Prague, Czechoslovakia, he switched to art studies, particularly wood carving. Among his teachers were professors Kobliha and Vocâtko. From Prague he went to Paris, where he studied at the Ecole libre des sciences politiques, in the diplomacy department, and at the Haute école du droit international. A few months after World War I broke out, he left for Russia. He went into active war service as a member of the Czechoslovak legions and helped organize the Czechoslovak legions in Russia, France, and Italy. As a courier he crossed the Russian and Austrian lines back into Bohemia, delivered his messages there, and returned again to Russia. In this daredevil undertaking he twice escaped death only by a miracle. He was decorated with the Cross of War and many other Czechoslovak, French, Swedish, and Italian decorations. After 1919 he entered the Czechoslovak diplomatic service, was secretary of the Czechoslovak legation in Paris, then legation counselor, later chargé d'af- faires in Stockholm, and ended his diplomatic career as Czechoslovak ambassador in Rome. After the Communist coup d'état he left Czechoslovakia and emigrated to Italy, where he went into business and established business connections with Sweden. For the Swedish RESO organization he designed and built the vacation resort village, Riva del Sole, at Castiglione della Pescaia on the shore of the Tyrrhenian Sea, which became a model for similar villages throughout Italy. He also co- operated in the evaluation of mineral health springs and the construction of a spa center at Foria on the island of Ischia. His literary activities were spread over his entire life. In 1925 the Obrozeni Publishing Company published his book Moje vâlecnâ Odyssea (My Wartime Odyssey) dealing with his trips as a courier during World War I. His cooperation with the Czechoslovak government in exile during World War II got him into trouble in strictly neutral Sweden, ending in a two-year jail sentence. In jail he wrote an extensive novel about the Thirty Years' War, Zemë krvâvi - zeme kvete (Bleeding Land - Blooming Land), projecting a similar situation for the Czecho- slovak people during the current war. The book was first published in Stockholm in the Swedish language, later in Czech by the Zike§ Publishing Company in Prague in 1946. Both editions were illustrated with his own wood carvings. As an art critic he wrote about the Swedish painter-prince Eugene, the Russian painters Larionov and Goncarovâ, about the Czech architect (living in Japan) Antonin Raymond, and about the London art critic J. P. Hodin; he published an album of his own wood carvings, wrote a biography of Jan Masaryk and prepared speeches for him; the Swedissh Broadcasting Company produced his play, Pensiondt Nirvana (Boarding House Nirvana).
