František Gellner

František Gellner was a Czech poet, short story writer, artist and anarchist. His first poems are full of irony in Heinrich Heine's style. In 1901 he published his first collection called Po nás ať přijde potopa! (After Us Let the Floods Come!) in which he used especially sexual motifs without any embellishments. The next collection Radosti života (Joys of Life) shifted the point of view from subject to object and throws the disbelief more on society. The rhythm of the poems is close to vaudeville verses or chansons. Nové verše (New Verses, published posthumously in 1919) are not so pathetic as if seen from a distance with a lot of nonchalance. He also wrote satirical poems in Karel Havlíček Borovský's style which were published mostly in p

Ladislav Fuks

Ladislav Fuks byl český prozaik, autor především psychologické prózy s tématem úzkosti člověka ohrožovaného nesvobodou a násilím. Jako symbol tohoto tématu si pak zvolil druhou světovou válku a holokaust. Většina jeho díla je autobiografická, často skrytě - téměř všemi jeho knihami prochází figura senzitivního, slabého hocha, žijícího ve svém vnitřním světě a toužícího po citovém přátelství. Právě tato stále se vracející postava trpícího a mučeného chlapce má silnou míru autobiografičnosti. Fuksovo dílo je někdy také autobiografickou travestií – např. Vévodkyně a kuchařka. Fuks je ve svém díle též mistrem masky, jinotajů a náznaků, k čemuž byl jako homosexuál přirozeně donucen dobou, v níž žil a tvořil. Ve svých knihách se také často dopouš

Milan Kundera

Milan Kundera (1 April 1929 – 11 July 2023) was a Czech and French novelist. He went into exile in France in 1975, acquiring citizenship in 1981. His Czechoslovak citizenship was revoked in 1979, but he was granted Czech citizenship in 2019.

Kundera wrote in Czech and French. He revises the French translations of all his books; people therefore consider these original works as not translations. He is best known for his novels, including The Joke (1967), The Book of Laughter and Forgetting (1979), and The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1984), all of which exhibit his extreme though often comical skepticism.
