Description
On the loss of identity and the ethical dimension of existence. This volume focuses on a cross-section selection from the lifelong dramatic work of Josef Topol (1935—2015), who was also a founding member of the Theatre Behind the Gate, a signatory of Charter 77, and a recipient of the Karel Čapek Literary Prize. The symbolic poetic drama from the collectivized countryside, The End of Carnival (1963), the existential dialogue The Cat on the Tracks (1965), the emotionally bitter one-act play The Hour of Love (1968), the parable about the hopelessness of life during normalization Goodbye, Socrates! (1975), and the reflective tragicomedy The Voices of Birds (1989) capture the constant themes of Topol's work, which include the relentless search for truth, love, and a path to the other.
