The article deals with the formation of a literary program by one of the most important Polish literary critics, namely, Kazimierz Wyka, in the forties of 20th century. Wyka's daring vision of non-fiction (about 1942), which was supposed to dominate post-war literature is presented here, as well as a gradual shift from it towards contemporary dominant concept of realistic novel (1946-1948). There is also an attempt to answer the question about the reason for the critic's reversal in his views.

The study focuses on the issues of the end of postmodernism in relation to changes and trends in contemporary art and theory. The author tries to approach what comes after postmodernism using several various contemporary theoretical concepts by Alan Kirby, Jeffrey T. Nealon and Timotheus Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker. The author then relates these concepts to novels of contemporary French writer Michel Houellebecq. Finding the connections to the concepts of intensification and comodification, as well as New Romanticism, author confirms that Houellebecq is a writer, who cannot be reliably classified as postmodern author, but rather the author of era of transition.

The important poetic work of the Slovak classicist literature 'Memorial Tragedy for the Entire World' (1791) has been in the literary historical interpretations typically connected with a genre of 'debat' tract. The aim of the study is to show that this generic determination does not correspond with the former purpose of the author to write a novel. He expressed that intention also in the foreword to the book. It neither corresponds with the all intention of the work. The authoress' polemics with the other interpreters of the generic character of 'Tragoedie' (Memorial Tragedy…) methodically comes from an analysis of its content taking into consideration interpretation of substantial features of tract as a genre and also reflection of contemporary conceptions and comprehension of genres. The character of 'Tragoedie' (Memorial Tragedy…) fits much more with genre of novel mainly because of signs such as fictive character, concentration on cultivating a reader to get common overview and stressing amusing function of the text. It is possible to find connections with the contemporary 'Bildungsroman' of the 'debat' form. As for stressing persuasiveness that is quite significant in some parts of the book it also speaks about literary application of 'tractandi' form using different kinds of arguments (not only of non-fictional character). The authoress prefers the interpretation of 'Tragoedie' (Memorable Tragedy…) as a 'debat Bildungsroman' to assumptive canonisation of the previous objectively inadequate literary historical interpretations.

Broadly historical in its approach, this article explores the extent to which Jack London obtained material for his writing from the experiences he had while serving as a correspondent covering the Russo-Japanese War in Korea. It argues that from this material London wrote such literary works as the short story “A Nose for the King” (1906), the historical essay “The Yellow Peril” (1904), and some portion of his memorable fantasy novel, The Star Rover (1915). This article claims further that in these works London not only revealed his racist prejudices towards Korea and its people, but also that information on Korea is sometimes inaccurate and unreliable.

Maciej Zurowski studies evolution of the novel from 18th until 20th century and novel techniques, based on great novels of the 18th and 19th century, like 'Rekopis znaleziony w Saragossie' (The Script Found in Saragossa) by Jan Potocki, 'Le rouge et le noir' (Red and Black) and 'La Chartreuse de Parme' (Charter House of Parma) by Stendhal as well as 'Madame Bovary' (Mrs. Bovary) and 'L'education sentimentale: histoire d'un jeune homme' (Sentimental Education) by Flaubert. In the authoress' opinion these works foreshadow the 20th century novel esthetics. Maciej Zurowski also focuses on connections of the novel with other arts.

The past in the present as it is displayed in the postmodern interpretation of two important authors, David Lodge and Colm Tóibin, manifests values that remain identical in different historical situations. 'A memoir' starts to be in vogue, its transformation in form of a novel is to be found in case of two recently published books - David Lodge's 'Author, Author' and Colm Tóibin's 'The Master'. The relation between reality and fiction is always ambivalent and often controversial. Lodge's novel 'Author, Author' and Tóibin's novel 'The Master' manifest the fantasy of their creators but also their respect for the fact and the tendency to preserve the truth. The application of authenticity and fabulousness (fact and fiction) is a significant element of postmodern prose in general and both analyzed novels prove the importance of this combination in a very efficient and artistically creative form. Both novels are despite the fictive format in fact the works of non-fiction. Nearly everything that happens in the stories is based on factual sources. Real people appear and act. Quotations from their but mainly James's books, interviews, articles, letters, journals are their - his own words. Metanarrative commentary of Lodge and Tóibin is the immanent component of their narration. Henry James is interpreted by both writers through their own register of experiences. James's life is for them a kind of palimpsest, a part of the past that has penetrated into the present and helps to support the 'moral ecology' of art in the current era. 'Author, Author' and 'The Master' display a brilliant manipulation of James's text and metatext on the lexical, syntactic and stylistic level. Lodge and Tóibin prove one of important postmodern principles namely that absolute truth is more a kind of fata morgana and facts are available always in some form of interpretation. We get a version of a fact as seen and interpreted by somebody who brings the message. In case of Lodge's and Tóibin's novels the message is artistically exciting, morally motivating, enriching readers' intellect and enhancing interest in valuable art.

In the history of Kierkegaard studies, A Literary Review has often been hailed as the Danish philosopher’s main contribution to the field of social-political philosophy. Although this aspect of the work has been explored in some detail, only few commentators have taken the time to study the background of it, i.e., the book which Kierkegaard purports to analyse in the review, namely Two Ages by Thomasine Gyllembourg. The present article explores the relation between Gyllembourg’s novel and A Literary Review with an eye to determining what influence Gyllembourg’s work might have had on Kierkegaard. It is argued that Gyllembourg’s novel served primarily as an occasion for Kierkegaard to further develop ideas that he was already concerned with previously in connection with his authorship.

The paper discusses Sándor Márai’s cultural concept of the bourgeois from a specific angle. Represented by the author’s native town of Košice and carrying an inherent tendency toward fictionalization, Márai’s idealized concept of the bourgeois city appears as a central issue of his novel series A Garrenek műve (The Garrens’ Work), often considered as a kind of epopee of the Hungarian bourgeoisie. The paper concentrates on the first volume, Zendülők (The Rebels), written in 1930, and focuses on the work’s fictional topology, which is governed by the conceptual metaphor city as body, and the concept of theatricality underlying the strategies of narrative representation. In conclusion, it raises the question of whether a culture, in Márai’s view, can possess any efficient means to interpret itself in a way that is not given over to parodist tendencies.

This paper investigates the so-called Transylvania novels within the historic branch of contemporary Hungarian prose poetics, with particular regard to the frameworks evoking, or even constructed upon, historical moments, by a generation of authors who have, in recent years, presented the situation in pre-1989 Transylvania and Romania from the plural bottom-view perspective of children or common people. These authors, especially György Dragomán and Sándor Zsigmond Papp, have first-hand experiences of the historic time and space of their works, so they ground fictitious elements in historic fact, while belonging to a larger group of prose writers. Besides the near past of Transylvania as a background, this aforementioned group also often stages earlier periods of Transylvania as an independent Princedom or part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Most importantly, however, this paper proposes to survey the compositional processes and motifs based on shared sources and authorial precursors, and the generational presence of analogous modes of evocation and recollection.

The most recent novel by Serbian author Ljubica Arsić, Mango (2008), thematizes corporeality from the angle of urban life, femaleness and femininity, as well as consumerism, in the postmodern parodic key. Mango is the novel whose intertextual links go all the way to Virginia Woolf and John Updike, via Erica Jong and Margaret Atwood, including Almodovar’s movies and mass-media culture. Those links have been created by appropriation of the motifs and discourses, and are embedded in a multi-level textual construction. The result is a story that depicts the circumstances in which all the choices seem to be globalized merchandise, and emotions feel like cheap, ready-made “thoughts.” The main characters, three self-sufficient, emotional and intelligent women, have their own creative ways of dealing with the everyday life, while the story about them, by the palimpsest of the intertexts, additionally subverts the globalized consciousness of both readers and other characters.

The paper is the first part of an intended essay on transformations (configurations and reconfigurations) of Slovak novel after year 1945. The centre of attention is genre and narrative reconfigurations in the system of poetics of artistic work in the given period of time. The paper is a part of a comprehensive team monograph project Poetika slovenskej literatúry po roku 1945 /The Poetics of Slovak Literature after 1945/. What is defining here is the optics focusing on the changed proportions in understanding of the events as a semiotic source as well as the purpose of artistic work. In the key sense, it is an extension and development of the concept of „text poetics“ (event) from its normative paradigm meaning to an ontological existentially defined syntagm of plot, motion and sharing (reading) of a text not only in the historical time and horizon but also at the level of singular poetic (narrative, genre) event of the interpretation. In the first part basic mechanisms of artistic work are defined, then wider contexts of secondary reflection are to be dealt with, and finally an exemplary interpretation of selected works of prose production written after year 1945 is planned. The vanishing point of the present paper is seeking new connections and rules in the area of poetics preliminarily defined by the ´existential´ attribute, i.e. mainly open to dynamic and ontological research into basic co-shared emotions, frenzies and trauma which, transferred into aesthetic representations, contributed to the complex one-way form of literature and art after 1945.

The article deals with the phenomenon of emancipation that can be found in two novels by Croatian authors, namely Plein air by Jagoda Truhelka and Ispovijest by Milka Pogačić. Both novels were composed during the Croatian modernist period and are unique in their form as they are male diaries, though written by women. The authors attempted to deal with women’s emancipation, an issue that saw a rise in importance in Croatian society at the beginning of the 20th century. Each of the authors deals with the theme in a different way. The main characters of Truhelka’s novel are confronted with women’s emancipation directly and accept it as right in the end. The main characters of the second novel are firmly anchored in contemporary conventions, absurdity of which is shown in escalated situations they find themselves in.

Ladislav Ballek´s novel Agáty (Black Locusts) was published in 1981. It was the time of normalization - political totalitarianism, which made every effort to regulate art production and declared socialist realism to be the only right creative method. Because writing truly about the present (and having the writings published) was impossible, and so was employing the techniques forged by the 1960s prose, writers had sought ways how to realize their creative ambitions without abandoning their principles. The writers began to prefer history and their childhood times, they fled to topic exile. In the field of literary criticism there was on going latent disagreement between the critics applying ideological criteria and those leaning on aesthetical views. The author of the article tracks the contemporary reception of that significant novel in question (the reviews and studies published shortly after its release), pays attention to the critics´ argumentation. However, the work was definitely well-received, one group of the critics used ideological terminology as well as ideological reasoning in their positive assessments, whereas the other group consistently adhered to aesthetical criteria. Thus two faces of Slovak literary criticism can be shown through the analysis of Ballek´s Agáty´s reception.

The article analyses three novels of the 20th-century (Thomas Mann: Doctor Faustus, Vladimir Nabokov: Luzhin's Defense and Jachym Topol: Night Job) on the basis of their engagement with the Faust myth on various levels. The problem is productive not only in relation to the understanding of the myth as 'an unceasing cosmic dynamics of the multi-layered contingencies and dependencies of all inter-world entities' that guarantees a transcendence of individual consciousness, but also the genre of the novel, which has an ambiguous relationship towards the myth - either it accepts the mythical imagination of the cosmic order, or it accepts the 'world order'. Readings of these three 20th-century novels bring opportunities for their contextualization within the world of myths from these two perspectives.

The study introduces the myth and its function in Eliade's literary method in the context of his religionist conception of the function of the myth. The study is therefore conceptualized within a wider context to emphasize the mutual relationship between Eliade's scholarly and creative work. In studying traditional archaic societies and cultures Eliade came to define archaic ontology as a process of historical repetition of mythical archetypes, which reflects the relationship between the sacred and the profane. After researching the archaic society, Eliade concentrates on the modern society, characterized by relativism and general desacralization. Eliade's solution is a return to the sources, the myth, which contains the universal code that can be applied to the modern man. In his literary work, Eliade shows this especially in his novel La foret interdite and in the short stories written after World War II, which are constructed on the basis of well-known, partly modified myths to with they add a signifying dimension. Eliade thus shows that written literature does not destroy myths, but, on the contrary, can creatively prolong their life.

This paper is dealing with problem of assimilation in the novel Chlieb by Jozef Cíger Hronský. Chlieb is reflecting interesting part of Slovak history between two wars, where the issue of nationality was very important and Slovak literature was one of the ways how to deal with it. This using of literature in a “politic function” was very popular among our writers in those days. Hronský uses characters of Czech family as one of main problems in this novel. At the example of Osterčílek’s family author is trying to prove assimilation of another nation by very strong community of Slovak people in Bacúch. He uses marriage, funeral and job as formal reasons for staying in village Bacúch. This theme was chosen because of Hronský’s important role in Slovak politics and culture.

The paper maps the process of constitution of the literary stream of so called 'hard-boiled school' from the simple illustrations in the form of literary extracts published in the pulp magazine Black Mask to the most representative novels by the main representatives and to the epigones. Dashiell Hammett internally transformed literary grammar of the detective genre through the change of a chronotop (mega city, gangland) and also by determining realistic motivation for murders. He took the element of rebus and a mystery scheme - logical solution from a formula of a classical detective story. In the novels he uses also methods of other genres (western in The Red Harvest, gothic novel in The Dain Curse). In interpretation we stress an open character of the heroes - sleuths (a detective from the Continental, Sam Spade and Ned Beaumont) with their 'misty' motivation, for which a film technique of narration seems to be helpful. In interpretation of the work of Raymond Chandler we are interested in depicted process of 'cannibalism' - using motifs from his older short stories in his later novels. We also follow gradation of disillusionment in the ends (a novel Long Goodbye versus his short story The Curtain, a novel Farewell, my Lovely versus his short story Try the Girl). The term 'hard-boiled school' overlaps the genre boarders of a detective story and covers wider genre field (e.g. gangster novel and criminal story of a murder in case of James Caine a Jim Thompson). In the novels of the epigone of the 'hard-boiled school' Mickey Spillane we can follow also a semantic line of schizophrenia in the main hero's plan- the detective (mixing thematic outer and narrator's inner perspective).

The article analyses the literary image of forcible re-Catholicization and maps its perception against the background of the confessional determined reception of the historical novel Odkaz mŕtvych (Message from the Dead). The reception of Rázus’ novel was influenced by Protestant and Catholic historical memory, which included the images of the bad Jesuits or the good Jesuits. The stereotype of the bad Jesuits was updated and politically exploited in the conditions of the totalitarian Ľudák regime. Thus the novel contributed to strengthening anti-regime views in some segments of the reading public.

The study deals with a partial subject of poetics, which Ladislav Ballek applied in his artistically most interesting work Agáty (1981, Black Locusts). It focuses on the transformation of space time (the town of Palánk), in terms of genre a varied epic reality, which develops a personal element (a town as a protagonist). The function change of the mentioned elements of Agáty´s motif structure is regarded as a result of a long-term process, which is obvious from the analysis of the poetics typical of the novella collection Južná pošta (1974, Southern post) and the novel Pomocník (1977, Assistant), which are both related to Agáty through their space time settings and migration of the characters. The summary of the original literary-critical findings, responding to Ballek´s novel poetics metamorphoses, is extended by both poet logical analysis of the titles and chapter titles found in the Palánk series (primary signals of the outlined process) and identification of a pattern-like nature of the space time organization of the prose Palánk – štvrť mačiek (Cat quarter, part 1 in the novel Agáty), which is applicable throughout the opus. This example is used to demonstrate ambivalence and dynamic nature of spatial parameters as well as the use of them in the motif axes of characters (personification) or space time is predetermined by the narrative strategy. It presents personification mechanisms in Pomocník and Agáty and the semantic results showing the artistic variety of both authors´ contexts and the prose in the 1970s and 1980s as a whole.

The article deals with the novel The Issa Valley, written by the Nobel laureate in literature Czesław Miłosz, and its eponymous film adaptation by film director Tadeusz Konwicki. Both authors were born in the region of today’s Lithuania, which, with its intact natural environment and ancient folk beliefs, left a strong mark on their childhoods. In the present novel or film, the authors narrate their childhood through fragmentary memories, which are transformed by fiction, and through representations of thoughts: while Miłosz narrates his own childhood, Konwicki transforms the novel into film and shows the story through audio-visual images, at the same time also exposing himself in the role of author. With a chronotope analysis, and based on the anthropological-morphological method of film analysis, the contribution presents the methods of verbal and audio-visual representation of an adult-narrator memory on the landscape of his home region and on the time of childhood as well as defining the discussed works with the categories spiritual autobiography and „film-memory”.
