Anyway, the fact remains that the film was one of the few products of the early socialist-realist school which did not makes one’s hands ache.” Unfortunately, by the time Katka was released, the authorities had reversed an earlier policy—they now frowned on agricultural workers moving into the industrial cities, and consequently frowned on Katka as well. Kadár was recalled to Barrandov, where his next film was his first collaboration with Klos, Únos (The Highjacking/Kidnap,1952), for which the two men are credited as joint directors and joint scenarists (with another writer). It tells the story of the highjacking of a Czechoslovak plane to West Germany, where its innocent passengers are offered inducements and even blackmailed by German and American officials to betray their country and stay in the West. Only one of the Czechs succumbs—a zoot-suited young man with a trumpet who is seduced by the sound of an American swing band playing in a nearby restaurant. This cold-war movie is described by Skvorecky as “one of those shallow and malicious films where the authors pretend that everything in the world is either black or white, or that anyone who for any reason opposed anything that was going on in Czechoslovakia at that time...was a traitor.” Having tripped over the shifting party line with Katka, Kadár had presumably hoped to earn forgiveness with Únos; for some mysterious reason, however, his second feature was accused of “Bourgeois objectivism”—until it found a champion in the great Soviet director Vselovod Pudovkin, whereupon the Czech authorities changed their tack and gave it a state prize.

  • 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).

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.

  • 28 “NEW MELODIES of NEWER YEARS..." (Hungarian Literature
    28 “NEW MELODIES OF NEWER YEARS..." (Hungarian literature during the first decades of the XXth century) Endre (Andrew) Ady Born of a Protestant family of ancient nobility in northern Transylvania (1877), he received a good education and chose the career of a journalist in the eastern Hungarian town of Nagyvarad. Here he met and fell in love with a married woman who became his great love, inspiring muse and tragic destiny, the “Leda” of his sensuous love poems. On Leda’s invitation Ady went to Paris, where the modern trends of French art and poetry changed his outlook on life. On his return he settled in Budapest and published “New Verses” (1906). The collection had a shattering effect on the stagnating Hungarian literary life of this complacent era. The violent attacks of the critics of the “establishment” only enhanced Ady’s popularity with the young. He published several collections in the following years, each causing a storm of praise and attack for its prophetic, scolding patriotism, sensuous, sinful longing for love and for the poet’s imaginative but obscure symbolism. The excesses of his stormy youth gradually destroyed Ady’s health. He broke with Leda and found pure, youthful, true love in a girl much younger than himself whom he married. He was deeply shocked by the Great War, its senseless horrors and its destruction of human values. He died during the tragic month of January, 1919. Ady created a symbolic language of his own to interpret his dynamic message. His exceptionally rich language uses picturesque, half-forgotten archaic words, racy folk-dialect, city slang and colourful composite words of his own creation Frequently a sequence of allegoric images becomes the vehicle for his thoughts.

Univerzita Karlova, Fakulta sociálních věd, Institut komunikačních studií a žurnalistiky. Katedra žurnalistiky. Vedoucí práce PhDr. Jana Čeňková, Ph.D. Rozsah práce: 134 746 znaků s mezerami Abstrakt Bakalářská práce se zaměřuje na novelu Ladislava Grosmana Obchod na korze a stejnojmenný film režisérů Jána Kadára a Elmara Klose. Vzhledem k tématu díla se práce v teoretické části věnuje historickým okolnostem vzniku Slovenského štátu a represím židovského obyvatelstva. Následně dílo zasazuje do kontextu československé válečné literatury a filmu v 60. letech 20. století a představuje osobnost Ladislava Grosmana a tvůrčí dvojici režisérů Jána Kadára a Elmara Klose. V praktické části se práce věnuje analýze kritického ohlasu novely a filmu v dobovém tisku v kontextu československé kultury. Výběrově se pak věnuje i kritickému ohlasu v době po roce 1989. Kritický ohlas práce čerpá z kritik a recenzí v tištěných periodikách mezi lety 1965-1970 a následně po roce 1989, které vycházely v kulturně zaměřených periodikách a přílohách denního tisku.
