Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A collection of short stories by Czech women from the turn of the twentieth century.A World Apart brings together translations of eight stories by Czech women from the turn of the twentieth centurya period of female political emancipation and impressive literary development in Czechoslovakia. Though theyre little known to an English-language public today, all of the writers featured in the book were recognized in their own day and constitute a cross-section of the literary styles of the period. Anna Maria Tilschovas A Sad Time is written in a naturalist style, while Ruzena Jesenskas A World Apart presents themes and motifs that appealed to the Decadents. Helena Malirovas The Sylph is both diaristic and satirical, whereas Ruzena Svobodovas ironical A Great Passion, with its rural setting and folklore motifs, calls to mind the writings of Karel Jaromir Erben. Gabriela Preissovas short story Eva may be read as a celebration of folk culture, and Bozena Benesovas Friends is interesting for its psychological presentation of a childs point of view and its implicit criticism of anti-Semitism. The book is accompanied by the biographies of each author and an introduction by editor and translator Kathleen Hayes. A collection of short stories by Czech women from the turn of the twentieth century. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
