DĚDICTVÍ JAKO METAFORA ŽENSKÉHO OSUDU
Heritage as s Metaphor of Female Fates

Summary/Abstract: The prose writer Eva Tvrdá (1963) is interested in the life fates of ordinary women from the region of the town of Hlučín which has a powerful history linked with the Third Reich. She places more than sixty years of history, which are parts of memorial and recollective pictures, into the prose of the so-called Silesian Trilogy which have been published in a collected form as Dědictví (Heritage), Třešňovou alejí (Cherry Lane) and Okna do pokoje (Windows to a Room). The motifs of family, home, travels and motherhood, which are linked with social and regional identity, are repeated in her work.
