Josef Barák

Josef Barák (26 January 1833 in Prague – 15 November 1883 in Prague) was a Czech politician, journalist, and poet. He was a member of the Májovci literary group. He became close with Jindřich Fügner; Fügner sent money to Barák when the latter was imprisoned in 1860.[1] According to Fügner's daughter, it was the first time her father supported a Czech cause.

From 1867 to 1873, Barák published the fortnightly newspaper Svoboda (Freedom) in Prague.[2]
