Dopisy od jezera Como

Title in English: Letters from Lake Como

 Dear friend! is how the German theologian and philosopher Romano Guardini addresses his friend Joseph Weiger and all future readers of his Letters from Lake Como. He used the intimate form of letters to share his profound philosophical reflections on the destiny of man, who is losing control of himself and his environment to technology. As an astute observer, Guardini described with disturbing prescience almost a century ago the challenges facing humanity in the technological age.
Among the avid readers of The Letters and other books by Roman Guardini was the German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, designer of the Tugendhat Villa in Brno. From a young age, Mies was very interested in the natural sciences and humanities. He understood his work as an expression of the main tendencies of the time. Building art "is always the will of the times captured in space, nothing else", he wrote in 1924. It was Letters from Lake Como that helped him clarify the question of the will of the times and its tendencies.
