Jaroslav Černý, Egyptologist, was characterized but not limited by his profession. He showed resilience despite odds throughout his international, transnational career. At the end of his career he was a respected scholar, a retired Oxford professor and a friend and colleague to people from both camps of the Cold war, and from the UK as well as from Egypt. His was a quiet opposition to the polarized world. His life story, however, would be incomplete without his companion in life and travels, Marie Sargant, philologist, educationalist, mother to two remarkable daughters.
