  • Yannis Ritsos and Czechoslovakia: Anthology of Czech and Slovak Poets
    GRAECO-LATINA BRUNENSIA 18, 2013, 1 TEREZA KESLOVÁ (MASARYK UNIVERSITY, BRNO) YANNIS RITSOS AND CZECHOSLOVAKIA: ANTHOLOGY OF CZECH AND SLOVAK POETS The aim of my contribution is to introduce the work of a Greek leftist poet Yannis Ritsos Anthology of Czech and Slovak Poets (Ανθολογία Τσέχων και Σλοβάκων Ποιητών). The impulse and inspiration for his work were his two visits to Czechoslovakia in the 1960’s. The book was published in 1966 in Greece, but almost all copies were destroyed at the behest of the contemporary ruling military junta. The anthology is unique not just in its creation, in which even Czechoslovak Writer’s Union took part, but more importantly it is unique for its content, because it introduces a wide, well-researched overview of Czech and Slovak poetry of the first half of the 20th century. Key words: modern greek literature, czech literature, slovak literature, translation, Ritsos, Anthology of Czech and Slovak Poets, Cold War cultural politics, Czechoslovak Writers’ Union Yannis Ritsos, a Greek leftist poet, worked on the Anthology of Czech and Slovak Poets1 during his two stays in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s. This monumental piece of work fell victim to the right-wing dictatorship in Greece and only a few copies survived. My modest goal is to introduce this unknown work of Ritsos. An in-depth analysis will be a part of my dis- sertation on Yannis Ritsos and his relationship to Czechoslovakia. Firstly, I will briefly mention Ritsos’ foray into translation, then I will move on to the main topic – the circumstances of creating this work, the content of the work, its contribution, and I will finish my lecture by outlining the basic incongruities and questions that arise when this work is studied closely.

  • Odzemok: Cultural and Historical Development
    81 ETHNOLOGIA ACTUALIS Vol. 16, No. 2/2016 MATÚŠ IVAN Odzemok: Cultural and Historical Development Odzemok: Cultural and Historical Development MATÚŠ IVAN Department of Ethnology and World Studies, University of SS. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava [email protected] ABSTRACT This article characterizes the male dance odzemok as one of the most representative dances in the broad spectrum of Slovak folk dances. A more detailed analysis and subsequent analysis of the literature confirms the absence of a comprehensive integrated material concerning odzemok in a wider context. This text further highlights the historical development of said male dance in the central geographic area, and analyzes the factors that led to the development of its present form. KEY WORDS: folk dance, folk music, male dance, odzemok, hajduch, valachian colonization Introduction Odzemok has an important place in the history of dance culture in Slovakia. It belongs along with young men's or lad's dances and verbunk to a group of men´s dances. The consequences of its origin, its development and forms are not clearly defined even now.

All rights reserved. 82 ETHNOLOGIA ACTUALIS Vol. 16, No. 2/2016 MATÚŠ IVAN Odzemok: Cultural and Historical Development If we want to study dance and be more familiar with it, we cannot focus only on its form and content but we must take into concern a wider context. Dance, as well as other folk forms, exists only at the moment of its concrete active realisation. Preserving the dance is correlative with the active expression of a different kind of dance, which helps us to spread it from generation to generation.

  • Ján Lajčiak: Slovakia and Culture Bratislava 2007, Vydavateľstvo Q 111, 173 Pp
    Ján Lajčiak: Slovakia and Culture Bratislava 2007, Vydavateľstvo Q 111, 173 pp. This re-edition of Slovakia and Culture by Ján Lajčiak was necessary. There continues to be a lot of interest in the book and the first edition has completely sold out. Why is it still so attractive? I think that the way Lajčiak writes about the bitter miseries and harsh drudgery of human life is what makes the book so fascinating. Lajčiak’s writing style is free from the ballast that typically encumbers other texts dealing with the same topic. When describing laziness and passivity, he touches on ethical issues and provides a catharsis. The text has many layers and inspiring insights. * * * About 100 years ago, after returning to what is nowadays known as Slovakia from his stay in Budapest and his studies in Erlangen, Leipzig and Paris in 1905, Ján Lajčiak started to make notes and outline his reflections and critiques on the situation of life at home. However, it was only after his death (exactly on the day of the declaration of Czechoslovak Republic in October 1918) that S. Š. Osuský began to sort the notes and whole chapters into a unique book about Slovakia. What makes Lajčiak’s book Slovakia and Culture so special that even today a whole edition is sold out? What makes it so charming – even 100 years after it was written? The magic of his book is in the ethos, in the ethical attitude expressed in his writing. Lajčiak doesn‘t avoid talking about people’s weaknesses and shortcomings which are as obvious as their consequences.

  • This Is Not a Book You Grab—This Is a Book That Grabs You
    “This is not a book you grab—this is a book that grabs you. A riveting thrill-ride, To Write a Wrong is Caroll at the top of her game. Heart-pounding suspense and romance make for a story with an all-too-real-edge that will leave you breathless til the end.” ~Tosca Lee, New York Times best-selling author of The Books of Mortals series with Ted Dekker “There is no more talented romantic suspense author than Robin Caroll. From the first sentence, To Write a Wrong, grabbed me and pulled me into the story. Love Caroll’s books!” ~Colleen Coble, best-selling author of Tidewater Inn and the Rock Harbor series “Robin Caroll’s To Write a Wrong shows an intensity that both wrenches and sings. With pulse-altering suspense and a startling authenticity in the emotions and relationships of the characters, Caroll tells a rhythmically rich story of imperfect people finding their way through impossible situations. Layered, entangled, and oh so satisfying, To Write a Wrong is Caroll’s best work ever.” ~Cynthia Ruchti, author of the Carol Award, RT Book Reviewers’ Choice, and Retailer’s Choice finalist They Almost Always Come Home “To Write a Wrong is a mind-twisting suspense skillfully inter- woven with a heartwarming romance taking readers on a roller- coaster of emotions. With characters you’ll love, hurt with, and fear for, the pages of this book will fly past, and you miss them once the adventure is over.” ~Vickie McDonough, award-winning author of twenty-five books and novellas “Robin Caroll has done it again.

  • Ethnic Literature and Slovakͳamerican Research
    ArsAeterna–Volume6/number1/2014 DOI:10.2478/aaͲ2014Ͳ0001 EthnicLiteratureandSlovakͲAmericanResearch DianaŽidová Diana Židová is a PhD. student at the Department of English and American Studies, Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra. She is currently working on her dissertation entitled Identity in the Slovak-American Literary Context, concerning literary works produced by later generations of emigrants of Slovak origin residing in America. She conducted her research on this topic in Cleveland and Pittsburgh in the first half of 2013. Her interests therefore include the variations of ethnic identity found in the literature of the Slovak- American diaspora. Abstract The article outlines the beginnings of ethnic literature research in the United States of America with regards to its reception from the 1960s to the 1980s. Aesthetic merit as a leading consideration in the evaluation of literary works, in view of the opinions of numerous critics, is quite problematic to apply in the case of Czech and Polish literature. Considering the output of Slovak-American research in the field of literary criticism and literary history, the results are not satisfactory either. There are a few works that provide valuable insight into the literature of the Slovak diaspora. Ethnic Literature If we look at the very beginning of American ethnic literary contributions in the second half of the 19th century, we find hardly any critical or analytical work concerning their aesthetic value, not only at the time but also in the following decades. The study of ethnic literature has made significant progress along with the rise of ethnic awareness in the academic milieu in the 1960s, when specific ethnic studies programmes were established (Newman, 1980, p.

  • Vincent Šikula : a Story and Fairy - Tale Narrator
    Journal of Language and Cultural Education 2017, 5(2), ISSN 1339 - 4584 DOI: 10.1515/jolace - 2017 - 00 2 4 Vincent Šikula : a story and fairy - tale narrator Eva Vitézová, Trnava University, Slovakia [email protected] Abstract Vincent Šikula entered ( also ) children´s literature in the 1960s, i.e. during the years when crucial works of Slovak children´s literature were published . His works are interesting for children even nowadays because they are built on story - telling, interesting language, and, very oft en, quick action . Šikula ´s poetics is based on not underestimating children. He did not determine in advance for whom his books are intended, since, in his opinion, they were appropriated by those whom they suited most . The paper discusses Šikula´s stories and fairy - tales with regard to the authorial narrative strategies. Key words: children´s literature, Slovak, fairy - tales, stories, Vincent Šikula , n a r r a t i o n “The symbiosis of the children’s world with the world of adults in Šikula’s ´ children ´ books is as natural as the presence of a ´ child’s view ´ in his books for ´ adults ´ .” Stanislav Šmatlák The term “ Slovak literature” hereafter denotes a sum of literary works written in Slovak language usually by authors for whom Slovak is a mother lang u age. Geographically, the term is basically related to a tiny post - communist country in Central Europe - Slovakia . The traditions of Slovak literature go back to the time of Great Moravia (863 - early 10th century) and writings by St. Constantin e and Methodius and their followers .

  • Translating the Literatures of Smaller European Nations: a Picture from the UK, 2014-161 a Report by Rajendra Chitnis
    Translating the Literatures of Smaller European Nations: A Picture from the UK, 2014-161 A Report by Rajendra Chitnis (University of Bristol), Jakob Stougaard-Nielsen (UCL), Rhian Atkin (University of Cardiff) and Zoran Milutinović (UCL) Executive Summary This report arises from a series of public, industry-focused workshops, interviews and other published material between 2014 and 2016, the life-span of an AHRC-funded project that explored how smaller European literatures attempt to reach the wider world. It concentrates on the variety of actors who collaborate to bring a text to an international audience. Since all work to persuade that audience to pay attention to their text, we have designated them ‘advocates’. Key findings: • The widespread and enduring pessimism about the prospects for translated literature in the UK is outdated. • Concern has shifted from a focus on the low amount of translated literature being published to questions about the diversity of literature translated. 1 The project team would welcome any comment or feedback on this report, which should be sent to Dr Rajendra Chitnis at the University of Bristol ([email protected]). 1 • The number of independent presses publishing translated literature has markedly increased in the past decade, often founded by people from corporate publishing or the financial sector with sophisticated strategies for raising their profile and establishing their brand. • Technological advances are central to the growth in translated literature. Social media, book review sites, on-line reading groups and bloggers have transformed the notion of ‘word-of-mouth’. • Translated literature remains a preoccupation of the educated urban middle-class, centred fundamentally on London and almost completely absent from school curricula.

The Call: Finding and Fulfilling the Central Purpose of Your Life by Os Guinness The Call continues to stand as a classic, reflective work on life’s purpose. Best-selling author Os Guinness goes beyond our surface understanding of God’s call and addresses the fact that God has a specific calling for our individual lives. What’s Best Next: How the Gospel Transforms the Way You Get Things Done by Matt Perman By anchoring your understanding of productivity in God’s purposes and plan, What’s Best Next will give you a practical approach for increasing your effectiveness in everything you do. This expanded edition includes a new chapter on productivity in a fallen world and a new appendix on being more productive with work that requires creative thinking. Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream by David Platt In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a “successful” suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus.
