Bůh píše přímo křivými čarami (Josef Suchý a literatura Lužických Srbů)
God Writes Straight Crooked Lines (Josef Suchy and Wendish Literature)
Author(s): Ivo HarákPublished by: Fundacja Naukowa Katolików »Eschaton«
Keywords: poet; translator; Josef Suchý (1923-2003); Lusatian Sorbs
Summary/Abstract: In his study the author deals with reciprocal relationship between a Czech poet of Moravian origin – Josef Suchý and the culture of the smallest Slavonic nation, the Wendish. Suchý met with this culture in the late 1960s. The author is concerned with reciprocal links, with Suchý´s translations and editions of Wendish literature, with studies about this small but important part of European cultural heritage. He also notices who wrote about the mentioned activities and evaluated them, whom Josef Suchý follows in his production and who Suchý´s direct continuator is. In the end the author notices the presence of Wendish motifs in Suchý´s production, in his poetic production above all. This subject matter gave rise to the imitations of Czech-Wendish selections from Suchý´s poetry edited after his death.
