In the first step, the study deals with the use of the term "Classicism" in the Czech literary history. Thereafter, the possibilities of the new, methodologically modern model of this phenomenon are considered. The distinction of the permanently present latent notion of the "Classic" and the specific manifestations of them is suggested. These were realized in three clusters, different in their contexts, functions and poetics. Classicism, howewer, featured the important part of the Czech literature throughout the first half of the 19th century.

Edition Explosionalism is one of the early Samizdat editions that were published in the 50s of the last century. It was founded by the graphic artist Vladimir Boudník, who was also the main author and editor of the published texts. The edition was short-lived and was only published for around a year. In the early 70s, it was revived by Boudníks student Oldřich Hamera. However, he was working under completely different surrounding conditions and was also supported by Bohumil Hrabal. Contributions to this later edition, either financially or with own works, mainly came from Hameras circle of friends.

The aim of the study is to analyse literary work by Bohumil Hrabal. The author starts with the interpretation of Bohumil Hrabal's poetry. He states that it was Hrabal's poetry that had moved his point of view on literature. Hrabal realized that after two global catastrophes of World War I and World War II there was no reason to produce literature without changing its status. He formulated (in his literary work, of course) this new status using the phenomenon of involvement. This led him to create a world of prose full of specific human speech that the narrator does not comment on but only tells.The author of the study used for his analyses Hrabal's...

The paper is concerned with the topic of youth in Czech prose in 1960s, especially in books of short stories by Jan Beneš: Do vrabců jako když střelí (1963), Situace (1963) and Disproporce (1969). While most authors of the previous decade focused on young persons from the society's point of view, at the end of 1950s their attention shifted to young person's inner world and emotional life and this tendency further intensified in 1960s. Jan Beneš focuses on the life of young generation in social and emotional aspects, their leisure activities, interests, etc. He also deals with taboo problems like prison camps of communist regime or relations to old people.

The study is focused on the relationship of lyric and epic in Milan Kundera's work. Milan Kundera differs resolutely from lyric in the novel Life Is Elsewhere. Nevertheless, the lyric is present at his writing till his late work. In the novel Identity, Milan Kundera paraphrases two poems from his collection Monologues. We could point out how much the lyric in the late work is an integral part of the novelist's gesture.

The present paper is the first part of the study that deals with unreliable narration as both an interpretative frame and a specific narrative perspective. It attempts to formulate the basic problems concerning the difficulties that occur when some of the well-estabshiled theses of unreliable narration are applied to analyses of particular narratives and discuss the problem of "self-deception" in narration. In this part of the study, the problems of self-deception have been only outlined as part of the analyses of the novels Grandhotel by Jaroslav Rudiš and Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk.

Traditionally, methods of quantitative and corpus analysis have chiefly been applied in linguistics. Only in recent years have (mainly foreign) studies tested their possibilities in the sphere of literary studies. The main purpose of such an approach is to provide literary studies with an exact tool, one based on formally analysed verbal material and not burdened with subjective introspective aspects. The principle of quantitative-corpus analysis does not only comprise the schematised taxonomy of a verbal corpus - it also presupposes its categorical statistical analysis, which is capable of manifesting (representing) absolute structural values and qualities.

Im Karls-Jahr 2016 will der Beitrag an einen, sowohl im tschechischen als auch im deutschen akademischen und Leser-Milieu, vergessenen Roman des Olmützer deutschen Dichters Franz Spunda erinnern. Seine historische Roman-Biographie Karl IV., Der Herr vom Hradschin, herausgegeben 1942 im Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren, zeigt Karl IV. erwartungsgemäß in einem etwas anderen Licht, als es die tschechische, häufig adorative Geschichtsschreibung und Belletristik tat und tut. Der klassisch erzählte Roman enthält freilich Spuren der Zeit, in der er entstanden ist, trotzdem - und das geht hoffentlich aus der Analyse und Interpretation hervor - scheint er gegen...
