ladislav klíma
Ladislav Klíma was born August 8, 1878 in the western Bohemian town of Domazlice. His father was a law clerk. After expulsion from Gymnasium in 1895 for insulting the Habsburg monarchy, he attended school for a short time in Zagreb. Afterward he lived alternately in the Tyrol, Plzen, Zurich, and Prague, always taking on short-term employment. For a time he also lived off the occasional honorarium and the sporadic generosity of his friends. His major inspirations were Berkeley, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Otokar Brezina. During his lifetime he was known primarily for his philosophical works. While only part of Klíma’s oeuvre was published before his death, numerous manuscripts were edited posthumously, among which were his stories and correspondence. Many manuscripts he destroyed himself. Klíma died of tuberculosis April 19, 1928 and is buried in Prague.
