Jan Procházka came from a peasant family. He studied at the Higher Agricultural School in Olomouc and after graduation, he began working in the border areas as the head of the State Youth Farm on the Stavovské panství Bruntál (1945–1949). He processed his experiences from this time in his book "Green Horizons". A year later, he moved to Prague, where he organized youth brigades to the border regions as part of the Czechoslovak Union of Youth. The environment of the border areas also inspired his most famous novel, "Shootout".
As a member of the Czechoslovak Youth Union apparatus, he first worked in the agricultural department of the regional committee, and shortly thereafter in the Central Committee of the Czechoslovak Union of Youth (1950–1959). In 1956, he wrote his first book. In 1959, he became a dramaturge and screenwriter at the Barrandov Film Studio. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, he was a member of the Central Committee of the Czechoslovak Union of Youth. He assisted Bohumil Hrabal, Arnošt Lustig, and was behind the creation of films such as "Diamonds of the Night" or "Daisies", even though he was not close to the poetics of Vera Chytilová, but "as an artist, she has the right to speak," he said.[1] "He was the protector of our generation," summed up one of Procházka's roles at the time, director Jan Němec.[2]
