This article analyses the Slovak novel “René mládenca príhody a skúsenosti” (1783–1785) by Jozef Ignác Bajza as a frontier orientalist fantasy. Unlike in Western European orientalist texts, where images of alien Muslim cultures served as a justification for imperialism, here they are used to fashion a Slovak modernity, confirming the Slovak people’s Christian, European and Slavic identity at a time when it was politically just starting to come into being as a nation. It is further argued that the novel departs from the typical Western orientalist fantasy, figured as a heterosexual heroic romance, towards the narrative of homo-social nationalist self-fashioning.

The study is a part of a collective project focused on interpretation of the key Slovak literary works of the 20th C. The aim of it is to read the known and in the case of a work of Frantisek Hecko: 'Cervené vino' (The Red Wine), also the classicised works in confrontation with the previously made interpretations. The starting point for the interpretation is textological; it is a comparison of several editions of The red Wine, while the decisive conceptive differences occur mostly in comparison of the first and all other following editions. The next step of our work was a typological identification of the work. The significant changes of the first edition of the text made by the author himself (1948), having been followed in the all the editions up to now, can be explained predominantly by outside circumstances, that means establishment of the Communist regime in 1948 and a radically new cultural politics, which negated hard plural model of literature having been respected until that time. Hecko adapted to this situation. He responded as an embattled socialistic writer and that was why he reduced in the novel much of that what belongs to the main natural resources of The Red Wine: motives, in which folk Catholicism had appeared, biblical lexical layer, as well as oral and ethic bases characteristic for the Christian cultural model. He changed markedly the end of the novel and he put into it a class aspect - required by the period and the regime. The interpretation is an attempt to reveal the former conceptual bases of Hecko's writing and to point out to the non - organic changes in his novel, which were required by the historical situation.

This study utilizes the analytical tools of the theory of trauma narrative and postmodern historiography in an interpretation of contemporary Slovak novels thematising the collective trauma of August 1968 (Rankov, Krištúfek, Grendel, Klimáček, Baláž). The issues under exploration are the dilemmas of historical fiction about socialism in the contemporary context, in which the traumatic events of August 1968 became probably the most remediated narrative, a “site of memory” of (Czecho) Slovak identity. The study analyses literary approaches and ideological assumptions of these texts, in which tension arises between history and fiction and at the same time between therapeutic, ideological and artistic reconstructions of history.
