Summary
Vladislav Vančura: Whimsical Summer
Although not well known in our country, Vladislav Vančura is a great Czech writer and playwright, and along with Čapek and Hašek, the most famous and respected Czech writer between the two world wars. At a young age, he mastered and experimented with language in search of a new way of expression: archaic, stylized speech, sound painting with words, lyrical metaphors, ancient syntax, long "baroque" sentences - these are all features of Vančura's intriguing handwriting. »If Vančura had opened a shop with metaphors, he could have supplied them to generations of Czech writers,« Kundera said of his compatriot.
»Humourous novel«, as the subtitle of Summer of the Quirky (1926), really faithfully announces the character of the work that exudes whimsy and an ironic atmosphere. This short, almost idyllic text in the manner of mild satire depicts the life of a small town, with a good-natured understanding of its small-town sins. Scenes interwoven with refined humor, announced in the subtitle, certainly will not, and do not want, to cause roaring laughter; they only confirm the originality and aesthetics of the author's cultivated linguistic expression. This prose is stored in the treasury of Czech literary gems, a tempting lure for attentive literary connoisseurs, which the author himself considered to be the best he had written. Apart from Josef Čapek, Karel's brother, who also illustrated it, not even Jiří Menzel could resist the linguistic beauty of this booklet, having masterfully filmed it fifty (whimsical) summers ago.
