In Prague Hek met the Czech patriots concentrated around the Kramerius' publishing house Česká expedice and around the Czech theatre groups. In the second half of 1780s he returns back to Dobruška to take over the father's shop. Hek also served as local agent of Kramerius, loaned books from his large library (3,284 volumes in 1806) and tried to organize a local Czech theatre (it was forbidden by authorities). A fire in 1806 destroyed his shop completely and lost during the state bankruptcy of Austrin Empire in 1811. Since 1806 he cooperates with Josef Liboslav Ziegler (1782 - 1846), a patriotic priest. In 1821 his wife died and he retired. Hek then lived, among other places, in Herrnhut (in Czech language Ochranov), a center of Czech evangelical exile, and for last years of his life in Kyšperk, together with his daughter. The historical novel F.L. Věk by Alois Jirásek (written during 1888-1906) is based on Hek's life, as described in his autobiography. A TV series F.L. Věk was shot in 1971. City Museum in Dobruška ows Hek's birth house and since 1972 hosts an exposition about Hek here. Dobruška's main square was named after F.L. Věk.
