Stepan Novak Alumnus Visit and Book Signing -

Published writer Stephen Adutt, known by his pen name Štěpán Novák, made an uplifting visit to Magdalen College School Brackley yesterday, where he spent his formative years as a student.

The author, who immigrated to the UK from Czechoslovakia during World War II, recently penned a novel titled "Karlovy Vary Goodbye", in which his time at Magdalen plays a significant role.
