The Cremator (Modern Czech Classics)
Karolinum Press ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ladislav Fuks (1923–1994) was a Czech writer known for his brilliant psychological novels. The son of a police officer, Fuks was born and raised in Prague—the capital of the newly independent Czechoslovakia, yet he turned fifteen only days before the Munich Conference and the subsequent Nazi occupation of his country. The deportation of his Jewish classmates (coinciding with a homosexual awakening that could have landed him in a concentration camp) profoundly affected Fuks. After the war, Fuks enrolled in Charles University where he studied Art History, Philosophy and Psychology. His first novel, Mr. Theodore Mundstock (1963; English, 1969), a schizophrenic masterpiece that Life magazine described as a “minor miracle,” explores the anxiety of a Jewish man as he tries to steel himself for life in the concentration camps. The Cremator (1966), was adapted in 1969 into the acclaimed film, which Virginie Sélavy describes as “disorientating, disquieting and darkly humorous . one of the most richly resonant celluloid nightmares,” while Of Mice and Mooshaber (1970; English, 2014) combines dystopian science fiction with elements of the fantastic and grotesque. A prolific author who expertly employed disparate styles, Ladislav Fuks remains one of the finest writers to portray the psychological fragility of those living under totalitarianism.

The absolute non-seriousness that characterized grotesque realism became a successful and relatively safe way to talk about the absurdities and the failures of the communist system. This modality, however, was not exclusive to the communist era but stretched back to the Austro-Hungarian era and forward into the Postcommunist times. -
Der ‚Judenkönig' Der Edlgasse
S: I. M. O. N. SHOAH: I NTERVENTION. M ETHODS. DOCUMENTATION. Michal Schvarc Der ‚Judenkönig‘ der Edlgasse Gustav Hauskrecht und die Verfolgung der Juden in Bratislava 1944/19451 Abstract The Holocaust in Slovakia was not only a result of the antisemitic policy of Hlinka’s Slovak People’s Party regime headed by the Catholic priest Joseph Tiso, but also an initiative by the lower parts of society – the local aggressors. After the occupation of the country by Nazi Germany in the late summer of 1944, this situation partly changed, with the ‚solution of the Jewish question‘ becoming one of the top priorities of the occupying power. However, with- out the help of local helpers, this would hardly have been successful. One such case was Gus- tav Hauskrecht, the head of the so-called ‚Judensammelstelle‘ in Bratislava. This convinced National Socialist and uncompromising antisemite contributed significantly to the persecu- tion of Jews in the Slovak capital at the end of the war and bears a joint responsibility for their deportation to the Nazi concentration camps. This article is an attempt to biographically profile one of the main perpetrators responsible for Shoah in Slovakia. Im Juni 1961 traf sich Simon Wiesenthal in Wien mit Samson Fischer. Fischer, gebürtiger Berliner, hatte den Holocaust in Bratislava überlebt, der Hauptstadt des ersten Satellitenstaates des nationalsozialistischen Deutschland in Europa, wohin seine Eltern bald nach seiner Geburt umgezogen waren.2 Kurz nach der Zusammen- kunft schrieb Fischer Wiesenthal, er habe vergessen, ihm über zwei in der Bundes- republik Deutschland lebende „prominente Nazigrössen“ zu berichten. Einer von ihnen hieß Gustav Hauskrecht. -
Surrealism in and out of the Czechoslovak New Wave
Introduction Surrealism In and Out of the Czechoslovak New Wave Figure I.1 A poet’s execution. A Case for the Young Hangman (Případ pro začínajícího kata, Pavel Juráček, 1969) ©Ateliéry Bonton Zlín, reproduced by courtesy of Bonton Film. 2 | Avant-Garde to New Wave The abrupt, rebellious flowering of cinematic accomplishment in the Czechoslovakia of the 1960s was described at the time as the ‘Czech film miracle’. If the term ‘miracle’ referred here to the very existence of that audacious new cinema, it could perhaps also be applied to much of its content: the miraculous and marvellous are integral to the revelations of Surrealism, a movement that claimed the attention of numerous 1960s filmmakers. As we shall see, Surrealism was by no means the only avant-garde tradition to make a significant impact on this cinema. But it did have the most pervasive influence. This is hardly surprising, as Surrealism has been the dominant mode of the Czech avant-garde during the twentieth century, even if at certain periods that avant-garde has not explicitly identified its work as Surrealist. Moreover, the very environment of the Czech capital of Prague has sometimes been considered one in which Surrealism was virtually predestined to take root. The official founder of the Surrealist movement, André Breton, lent his imprimatur to the founding of a Czech Surrealist group when he remarked on the sublimely conducive locality of the capital, which Breton describes as ‘one of those cities that electively pin down poetic thought’ and ‘the magic capital of old Europe’.1 Indeed, it would seem a given that Czech cinema should evince a strong Surrealist tendency, especially when we consider the Surrealists’ own long-standing passion for this most oneiric of art forms. -

CZECH (With Slovak)
UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD FACULTY OF MEDIEVAL AND MODERN LANGUAGES Information for the Preliminary Course in CZECH (with Slovak) 2011/2012 THE PRELIMINARY COURSE The Prelims course in “Czech (with Slovak)” is normally devoted entirely to the study of Czech – although a student competent in Slovak may translate from English into Slovak instead of Czech in the examination. (An introduction to reading Slovak is provided during the second year.) First-year teaching in Czech language and literature – in the form of university lectures, college classes/seminars and tutorials – is coordinated by: Dr James D. Naughton (St Edmund Hall) University Lecturer in Czech and Slovak email: [email protected] The timetable of classes in Michaelmas Term will be arranged at a meeting held towards the end of Freshers Week (= Noughth Week). Beginners will receive around three hours of intensive Czech language classes per week, and more advanced students will be catered for as appropriate. Students also attend a weekly lecture on Czech literature and a weekly seminar on Czech literary texts. These continue throughout the year. There will also be tutorials for essays on Czech literature; these tutorials are usually held in Hilary and Trinity Terms. A number of links to local and outside web resources for students of Czech and Slovak language and literature are provided on the following web pages: http://users.ox.ac.uk/~tayl0010/links.html http://users.ox.ac.uk/~tayl0010/czech.html Further details about the papers to be sat in the Preliminary Examination and set texts for literature are given below, followed by an introductory reading list, with recommended dictionaries, textbooks and some background reading. -
The Shop on Main Street (Obchod Na Korze)
The Shop on Main Street (Obchod na korze) Author: Ladislav Grosman First Published: 1965 Translations: German (Der Laden auf dem Korso, 1967); Hebrew (Chanut be rehov har- ash, 1969); English (The Shop on Main Street, 1970); Swedish (Butiken vid storgatan, 1981); Polish (Sklep przy głównej ulicy, 1993). Film Adaptation: Obchod na korze (The Shop on Main Street/The Shop on the High Street); feature film, screenplay Ladislav Grosman, Ján Kadár and Elmar Klos; film di- rectors Ján Kadár and Elmar Klos, premiered the 7th of October, 1965. About the Author: Ladislav Grosman (1921–1981), came from a Slovak Jewish family, went through various labour camps during World War II and eventually, escaped be- fore being transported to the extermination camps and thus had to hide-out for the rest of the war. After 1945, he studied in Prague and worked as an editor and screen- writer, publishing in both Slovak and Czech. In October 1968 Grosman emigrated to Is- rael where he taught at Bar-Ilan University. Jewish and especially Holocaust topics played an important role in his works. Further Important Publications: Nevěsta (1969, The Bride, short stories); Hlavou proti zdi (1976, Head against the Wall, short stories); Z pekla štěstí (1994, The Devil’s Own Luck); Povídky (2018, Short Stories, ed. J. Opelík, summary edition). Content and Interpretation The geographical setting of the story is an unspecified provincial city in Eastern Slo- vakia. The author took this image from his hometown of Humenné. The temporal set- ting seems to be the summer of 1942 when the first wave of Jewish transports from Slovakia was organised, but the novel doesn’t have any precise historical date. -
