Josef Škvorecký and his wife, Zdena Salivarová, published and sent books to Czechoslovakia and other countries behind the Iron Curtain free of charge. He invested part of his salary as a university teacher into the publishing house and edited most of the books. The imprint became an important outlet for Czech dissident writers like Milan Kundera and Václav Havel. They also reprinted works by émigré writers like Arnošt Lustig and Ferdinand Peroutka.
