Karel Havlíček Borovský, an eternal political rebel with permanent youthful anarchy as his work, fell out of favor with the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph II. For his opinions and criticism of state power, he had to leave his residence in Havlíčkův Brod in the Highlands, as well as his work in Prague, and was relegated to Brixen (Italian: Bressanone), a small town in Tyrol, Italy, where he stayed in a cozy hotel with pleasant service. However, he suffered from homesickness there. Towards the end of his life, he was finally released from exile and was able to return to his beloved Bohemia. Shortly after his return, he died in Prague of tuberculosis. Hotels Brixen symbolically returns him asylum in the places he loved.
