Summary/Abstract: The monograph is the second volume in a series that will encompass the correspondence of the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů with his family in Polička. This volume contains 56 items of correspondence (letters, post card) from the years 1932 and 1933. The correspondence is one-sided as only letters sent by Bohuslav Martinů to his mother and siblings were preserved. Even so, these documents are unique and authentic expressions, in which Martinů remarks on both his personal and his professional life - with the aim to share his news, intentions, and opinions firstly with his closest relatives but secondly also, through them, to a broader circle of his friends in Polička and Czechoslovakia. The Czech version provides an exact diplomatic transcription of Martinů's manuscript letters.
