Abstracts

EN

The article Božena Němcová and the history of her sensual image contains the review of František Novotny’s book Prsten od vévodkyně (2011). The book employs the most recognizable portrait of Božena Němcová painted by Josef Hellich. His painting paraphrase in the shape of imaginary nude (visible on the cover) becomes the reason to present Czech history — since the 19th until the beginning of the 21st century. This piece of work, which constitutes ahybrid combination of detective story and historical fantasy, is an example of revitalization of the subject of history in contemporary literature.
