The study Reflection of the October in Czech novels analyses several novels that originated in the twentieths of the twentieth century. Their authors, K.M. Čapek Chod, A.M. Tilschová and B. Benešová, reflect the change of social climate during the war and immediately after it. They connect the rise of the new State, a democratic Republic, with the notion of liberation from empty social norms connected with the world before the war. Characters of these novels are undergoing a catharsis that liberates them and opens new perspectives of life for them.

Studie Románová reflexe 28. října 1918 se zabývá několika českými romány, vzniklými ve 20. letech 20. století, jejichž autoři, K.M. Čapek Chod, A.M. Tilschová a B. Benešová reflektují změnu společenského klimatu za války a bezprostředně po ní. Proměnu spojují nejen se změnou společenského zřízení, se vznikem demokratické republiky, ale především s představou osvobození se od společenských norem, spojených se světem před válkou. Postavy těchto románů procházejí katarzí, která je osvobozuje a otvírá jim nové životní perspektivy.

The present study examines Saudek’s novel Diplomats (1921) from three perspectives: first, with regard to the (biographical) circumstances of its creation and publication; second, in the gradual development of its concrete form and fields of meaning; third, with an emphasis on the ways in which it was realized. The middle part of the study is the most dominant, evoking (in excerpts and comments) specific elements and constraints of Saudek’s novel structure — centred on the feminist intermingling of the story of Pygmalion with Christ’s (or apostolic) gestation, in accordance with a tendency of the period to bring together the national and universal horizons of salvation, and to confront the temporal connections and confrontations with stimuli from the outside world. To understand their present and future, the main protagonists of the novel are constructed as initiates in the art of graphology, able to identify the handwriting of famous writers. They believe, moreover, that they can recognize the ‘handwriting of history’: that is, the contours of what is to come. At the same time, they do not want to remain mere contemplative readers of this historical nature, and they go in search of someone who can change the course of the world to meet their ideal, namely that of a peaceful world. They find this in the figure of T. G. Masaryk.
