By Alena Skodova Jan Amos Komensky - also known as Comenius was a thinker, philosopher, writer and educator.

I spoke with the director of the Komensky Museum in Prague, Ludovit Emanuel, who told me more about the rich but rather unfortunate life of this great Czech personality of the Baroque period.
