The article presents the theory of the linguistic picture of the world and the theory of image schemas and discusses their role in the interpretation of “older” literature. The problem is illustrated using letters written by and to B. Němcová, a Czech female writer of the 19th century. The text attempts to demonstrate that the two aspects play different roles in different writer reader configurations – in the context of the original epistolary communication, when the texts are read by the 19th century readers who were not the intended addresses, and when they are interpreted by a contemporary reader.

The paper entitled 'Clash of the reality from the XIX and XXI century in František Novotný's novel Prsten of vévodkyně' attempts to show the strategies that the author uses reconstructing distant and recent past. The book is the first part from the series Kroniky karmínových kamenů, which aims to approach Czech history in a different way than it is presented in school textbooks. The author offers the reader two almost parallel stories. The character of this "new" history is an ex-secret service agent - Zdeněk Milbach, who travels through Czech history using the time machine (which is the portrait of Božena Němcová). There is also a story from the past describing the life of his ancestor Mühlbach. He similarly is a police secret agent who is following Němcová, just like Mülbach is following Alena Michálkova. It that way, Novotný proves that despite of the fact that the XIX century is already 'historical' period, it has a lot in common with recent history. In both periods the author stresses the events from the years 1848 and 1989, which, all the same, are milestones in the lives of both characters. This piece of work, that constitutes as hybrid combination of detective story and historical fantasy, is the example of revitalization of the subject of history in contemporary literature.
