Not-idylic Bohumil Hrabal conference
25 April 2024 – 27 April 2024
Hrabal is a synonym for idyll, at least for most of society, which perceives Bohumil Hrabal's works mainly through film adaptations. But his work has a more hidden and surprisingly far more abundant aspect: non-idyllicity. Why this feature of Hrabal's texts appeals more to foreign readers will be discussed by experts or translators of his books from France, Japan, Germany, or Poland, where he is still one of the most-read authors. They will be joined by leading experts on Hrabal's work from Czechia.
