The article deals with images of promiscuity found in works of the Czech literary underground created in the 1940s and the 1950s. Accordingly, works by Egon Bondy, Jana Krejcarova and Karel Hynek are discussed in this respect. As part of the polemics concerning the era presented in the works of the underground pole representatives, there appears a vulgar dictionary and the subject of tabooized erotic practices like scatology, polygamy, sodomy or incest. The description of these practices in the works of representatives of the Czech literary underground of the 1950s was a form of protest, violating the then rigid moral norms and, at the same time, an expression of artistic provocation in relation to the official literature.

Pavel Zajíček was a leading personality of Czech rock and literary underground in the 1970s. His imprisonment in 1976 was an important impuls for creation of Charta 77. Communist establishment wanted to get rid of him and therefore (though he was a dissident) he was given his passport and allowed to leave Czechoslovakia for Sweden. In exile he continued in writing and in 1995 he returned to Prague. The present study deals with both invariable and variable qualities of his poetry created after his return. The detailed analysis of his collection of poems called Zvuky sirén a zvonů (The Sounds of Sirens and Bells, 2001) proves that the latest texts of Pavel Zajíček rank among the most original examples of Czech alternative poetry, independent on praised literary tradition.
