• Languages of publication: CS

Abstracts

EN

Mohyly (Barrows) is probably the best known poem of the 20th century Czech poet Josef Kostohryz (1907 – 1987) – and also one of his longest, involving a large variety of motifs and themes, different levels of reality and spatiotemporal settings. The use of a wide range of names identifying various human and mythological beings, places or events provides tools for creating a very specific poetic world, as well as for its later reconstruction. The names used in the poem can also suggest some moments of the poet’s own biography in a wider context of the 20th century history.
