Téma vykořenění a ztrát v současné próze : nad románem Jakuby Katalpy Němci

Abstract

The study analyzes the novel Němci (The Germans, 2012) of the Czech prose writer Jakuba Katalpa as an attempt at a new perspective on the issue of the life of the German minority in Czechoslovakia from the interwar period to the wild expulsion and subsequent organized displacement of German-speaking inhabitants after the end of the Second World War. The novel represents a concealed polemic with ideologically and morally accented approaches to the subject. The author made in the novel Němci (The Germans) an interesting combination of cultivated contemporary language, material style and ever-branching narrative structure dominating everyday life intensely perceived by all senses.
