Článek komentuje vztah polských překladatelů k Vaculíkovým románům, především k "Českému snáři" a "Jak se dělá chlapec", z kterých ukázky najdeme v polských časopisech 80. a 90. let 20. století. Spojuje recepci Vaculíkova díla se vznikem a poklesem zájmu o český disent. Hledá v překladech i nepatrné stopy kulturního dialogu.

The article comments upon Polish translators attitude to the novel of the Czech prose writer Vaculik, especially "Český snář" and "Jak se dělá chlapec", fragments of which can be found in Polish magazines of 80’s and 90’s in 20th century. The reception of this prose is linked with the formation and interest decline of the Czech opposition’s situation. The article searches for traces of cultural dialogue in translation attempts.
The article focuses generally on the functioning of commentary or metacommentary within postmodern narrative texts. Two Czech authors from the second half of the 20th century have been chosen to illustrate the theory outlined in the introductory part of the article: Ludvík Vaculík and Jiří Kratochvil. From the point of view of interpretation the structure that is being opened by commentary inside some narratives is called posthermeneutic. The article argues that posthermeneutic situation can be found in the perverse situation of samizdat publishing in Czechoslovakia in the 1970s (as depicted by Vaculík’s Český snář) and in the role played by women in Kratochvil’s short story Příběh krále Kandaula. The article concludes that the postmodern might stand the reader in front of an ethical choice as far as the function of literature and art is concerned.

Na obecné úrovni se článek zabývá fungováním komentáře či metakomentáře v postmoderních prozaických textech. K doložení a rozpracování teoretických východisek využívá článek texty Jiřího Kratochvila a Ludvíka Vaculíka. Z pohledu hermeneutiky je struktura, která se odhaluje uvnitř literárních textů právě prostřednictvím komentáře, nazvána posthermeneutickou. Článek ukazuje, že tato posthermeneutická struktura je pevně spojena s perverzní situací ineditního publikování v Československu 70. let jak ji zachycuje Vaculíkův Český snář, stejně jako se situací ženského subjektu zobrazené v Kratochvilově povídce Příběh krále Kandaula. Článek dochází k závěru, že postmoderna staví čtenáře či recipienta před etickou volbu co se role literatury a obecně umění týče.
The aim of this study is to describe and examine eight typescript variants of Ludvík Vaculík’s novel Czech Dreambook. The analysis is part of the textological preparation for the forthcoming two-volume edition of Czech Dreambook in the Czech Library. It presents hitherto unanalysed and for the most part unknown typescript material, which provides a unique insight into the genesis of the text. The study shows the strategies used by the author in the reworking process and notes the variable extent of the documentary features.
The present study deals with the problem of reflexivity in Ludvík Vaculík’s semi-autobiographical novel Czech Dream Book (samizdat 1981; English 2019). The notion of reflexivity is conceived of as the intersection of real empirical life and the fictional world. The real author approached a number of people from the dissident circle with a request to review the first version (and later the expanded manuscript) of his novel. This collective engagement with the text would then become one of the important thematic lines of (later versions of) Vaculík’s multi-thematic novel. The work is reflexive in yet other ways: correspondence with the author’s mistress Helena Bukovanská and others, for example, who eventually participate in the finalization of the novel. An important role in the subsequent reception of Czech Dream Book was also played by a book of reviews on the text, which Vaculík himself initiated and edited. This study analyzes a large amount of previously unknown material from the archives.
