Description
The time when poets were the center of public attention is long gone; even the media wouldn't fight over Vrchlický or Nezval today, but we need not lament that. Those who wish can unhesitatingly enter the world of poetry, read and read, and honor in this endless universe of metaphors, thoughts, or wordplay whomever they choose. The same could be said about songwriters, the central figures of the book Polemics, Honors, Provocations, as Jan Burian wrote in the chapter about poets—specifically about Pavel Šrut. The days when thousands of people flocked to summer festivals to see them are likely over, yet it is worth remembering them. Thanks to Burian, those who remember can reminisce, while others may find the book serves as a guide to whom it is worth listening to even today. Everyone will surely have a smile playing on their lips while reading this book, for as the author states: "Without humor as a spice, food is worthless." And this book certainly does not lack spice.
