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.

What are the current challenges faced by Charles University? What creative ideas could benefit CU? What is holding us back? Where do we want to be in five years’ time? The University is now offering all those interested the chance to discuss these topics in an informal environment over a cup of coffee and a croissant – or even a Czech pie!I cordially invite both students and all CU employees to new, regular breakfast meetings, where we can jointly discuss a number of topics affecting the University in a relaxed environment. The number of places is limited to 10 per event. If a breakfast event is attended by international students or CU employees, conversation will take place partly in English. I’m looking forward to hearing your opinions and ideas!
