Description
The new, revised edition of perhaps the most remarkable book about Czech writers of the 20th century. - In the memorial profiles of Čtrnáctera, Bedřich Fučík sketches monumental life and poetic portraits of his beloved authors with broad strokes – in individual fateful stops, he captures how he became closely acquainted with them and how their work left an indelible mark on his life. Here culminates his effort for a synthesis of life and art, as well as the endeavor to unconditionally serve all values in Czech literature, regardless of literary programs or ideological stances. Thus, Šalda, Březina, J. Florian, Deml, Nezval, Halas, Čep, Holan, Zahradníček, and others stand side by side, even though they seemed to be distanced both in life and art, and Bedřich Fučík strives to uncover not only the essential nature of their poetic creation from the ethos and melos of the lives and works of his great role models and companions but also the direction and meaning of the Czech national fate, its greatness, smallness, and tragedy.
