Brief introduction of Czech literature

The upper church (1371~1415) accused the church of cruel exploitation. The basic principle of the new orthography he created is still in use today. During this period, the creation of religious poems, lyric poems and songs was very prosperous.

Istb Nisski Anthem has collected the most Czech poems in the Hus movement, among which Who is the Warrior of God is the most famous.

After the failure of Hus Movement, literature further strengthened its connection with religion. Peter hershey (1390 ~ 1460) wrote The Real Web of Faith, which preached the idea of equality of human rights. His followers organized a "Brotherhood", which inherited the tradition of Hu Si School and advocated spiritual self-improvement. From 1579 to 1593, the Brotherhood secretly published a new translation of the Czech Bible, which had a great influence.

During the period of 65438+70s, humanistic literature appeared, which represented the political position of the citizen class, and its representative writer was Vi Colnel (1460 ~ 1520). 1620 After the defeat in the Battle of Baishan, the Czech Republic lost its independence and did not begin its national rejuvenation until the 1970s.

This period is called the "dark age" of Czech Republic, and most intellectuals fled abroad. For example, the satirical work "The Labyrinth of the World and the Paradise of the Soul" by the famous educator and philosopher Jan Komensky (1592 ~ 1670) was published abroad. Domestic literature tends to decline, and some works are only circulated among the people in the form of oral literature. In 1930s, under the influence of Soviet literature, the socialist tendency in Czech literature was strengthened. At this time, there appeared some Marxist literary critics, such as Lavic (1897 ~ 1943) and Youfuqike (1903 ~ 1943), who insisted on the principle of party spirit and class nature in their literary criticism. The works of Ma Majerova and Ma Pujiemanova (1893 ~ 1958) describe the heroic struggle of the working class and intellectuals for the socialist ideal, and reveal the leading role of the * * * production party in the revolutionary movement. Poets such as V. Nezwal (1900 ~ 1958), F. Haalas (190 1 ~ 1949), and J. Hora abandoned being divorced from real life, empty in content and simply pursuing bizarre forms.

During the occupation by the German invaders, it was difficult for patriotic writers to directly expose the dark reality because of the cruel persecution of fascism, so they had to express their patriotic feelings with historical themes and express their nostalgia for the glorious historical tradition of the Czech nation. This kind of works, such as Wankula's Historical Map of Czech Nationalities, describe Czech historical legends and stories, and use some historical figures and events to inspire people's fighting spirit to resist aggression and defend the motherland. Other writers tend to describe people's psychological activities, so psychological novels are also very popular in this period. But at the same time, it also produced works like Report under the Gallows written by Fu Qike in the German secret police prison, which praised the revolutionary heroism of * * * producers fighting against the enemy. After liberation, Czech literature entered a new era, with the emergence of poets Nizval, F. Schlamaker (1877 ~ 1952), Ya Sefer, F. Hrubin (19/kloc-0 ~) and essayist Jane Drda.

In 1950s and 1960s, essays mostly described the struggle between old and new, socialist construction and agricultural cooperation. Among them, the novels Citizen Brich by Jan Ozane Seck (1924 ~ 1979) and Hometown by Borriha (1907 ~) are taken as examples.

Further exploring the inner world of modern people is the main feature of Czech poetry and prose in the 1970s. Zavada (1905 ~), Scala (1922 ~) and Rebak (1904 ~) are representative poets. Several novels by the writer jan kozak (192 1 ~) describe the cooperative movement and show a broad picture of rural life.
