LifeBorn in Prague, he was working in Paris as a correspondent for Lidové noviny[1] when Germany occupied the rest of Czechoslovakia on March 15, 1939. It was at this time he wrote the Czech libretto for Martinů's Field Mass. He returned to Prague briefly for his father's funeral in July of the same year{{Sfn | Mucha | 1991}}{{Rp | needed = yes | date = April 2013}} but was able to return to Paris and later joined the newly formed 1st Czechoslovak Division in France in Agde. Following the fall of France, Mucha made his way to the United Kingdom, where he joined the Royal Air Force before becoming a war correspondent for the BBC.{{Sfn | Zejda | 1994}} He returned to Prague in 1945. In 1951 he was arrested by the country's Communist government for alleged espionage, and following the demands of the state prosecutor for the death penalty, he was ultimately sentenced to hard labor in the Jáchymov uranium mines. Released from prison in 1954, allegedly due to the efforts of his wife Geraldine,{{Sfn | Zejda | 1994}} (according to other records, it was due to his agreement to work for the State Security Police),[2] he devoted himself to his writing and to publicizing his father's art. In 1989, following the Velvet Revolution, which brought down the communist regime, he became chairman of the Czech PEN club.{{Sfn | Zejda | 1994}} He died of cancer in 1991. Journalist Charles Laurence in his book {{Citation | title = The Social Agent}} alleges that Mucha acted as a 'social agent' for the State Secret Service (StB).[3] These allegations, which are based not only on the statements provided by a former StB officer who tortured Mucha whilst he was in jail but also on the records in the Security Services Archive in Prague (Mucha was registered under the code name Anty),[4] are in dispute by his family. FamilyHis first wife was Czech composer Vítězslava Kaprálová (1915–40). His second wife was Geraldine Thomsen-Mucha (1917–2012), a Scottish born composer who lived in Prague until her death on 12 October 2012. Mucha had two children: a son, John, now President of the Mucha Foundation, with his wife Geraldine, and a daughter, Jarmila Plockova,[5] with Vlasta Plockova. Jaroslava Muchová was his sister. Work
Some of Mucha's novels are autobiographical, e.g. {{Citation | title = Most |trans-title=The Bridge}}, {{Citation | title = Studené slunce |trans-title=Cold Sun}} – reflecting his experience of a life in Stalinist prison – and {{Citation | title = Podivné lásky |trans-title=Strange Loves}} – his recollections of his relationship with Czech composer Vítězslava Kaprálová and the life of a Czech émigré community in Paris at the dawn of the World War II.
