DE Prose works by Jan Cep; dioecy; dual home; second homeland; exile
AB One of the basic categories which are applied on the interpretation of Jan Cep's work is the author's own credo called "dioecy", i.e., the concept of dual home, mostly differentiated as a notion of an inner and outer home. These notions acquire additional meanings particularly with a consideration of Cep's life experience, of his exile, and especially of his reflections about a true homeland or a "second homeland", however, these notions are essential in terms of reflecting his indigenous pilgrimage. Cep has developed this life-time and creative philosophy in his literary journalism and essays, most significantly in his late essayistic exile memoirs Sestra uzkost.
