The paper deals with the phenomenon of dystopia in Czech literature before 1989. The main aim of the article is to present some similiar views on totalitarian power and its influence on the individual in Czech novels and short stories: Datum narození nula by Ludmila Freiová, Poselství pro Agla Mathona by Ondřej Neff, Utopie, nejlepší verze by Ivan Kmínek and Maso by Martin Harníček. The purpose of the paper was also to show how in the authors’ visions of autocratic states, administration is taking control over ordinary people and what kind of tools it uses to manipulate them: terror, self-censorship or various addictions.

In his article, “After the Apocalypse comes Utopia? Ivan Kmínek’s Utopia, the Best Version” Kenneth Hanshew examines the various aspects of one of the three best works of Czech post-apocalyptic science fiction. He focuses on the following: the revelation of the utopian society as problematic, humorous accents regarding the title, exploration of the conflicts in the established utopian society, comparison with the concept of future as presented by other science-fiction authors, departure of Kminek’s world from the notions of utopia’s perfection and eutopian literary conventions, examination of the psychology and siginficance of the narrator and characters, as well as the analysis of the structure, motifs, tropes and themes used in the story itself. It is questioned whether the achieved goals of a utopian society as portrayed in the novel genuinely are foundations for a positive utopia. Hanshew continues to compare and contrast Kminek’s ideas with other authors, as well as reveal the eliterary allusions conveyed within the work. It is explained which science-fiction themes are used in the construction of the presented world and how they depart from the canon. Finally, the author observes and evaluates the non-dystopian aspects of Kminek’s novel (i.e. romance, detective novel, comedy) and the extent to which it is based on allegory.
PL
Autor w swoim artykule zajmuje się różnymi aspektami jednej z najlepszych powieści czeskiego pisarza science fiction Ivana Kminka, koncentrując się na utopijnej wizji społeczeństwa i porównując ją do obrazów innych autorów fantastycznych. Zadaje pytanie o to, czy osiągnięcie celów utopijnej społeczności, jaka została ukazana w powieści, rzeczywiście jest podstawą pozytywnej utopii. Wyjaśnia, jakie motywy fantastyczne są użyte do konstruowania świata przedstawionego, a które są odejściem od kanonu. Autor analizuje także antyutopijne aspekty powieści Kminka (tj. romans, powieść detektywistyczna, komedia) oraz stopień, w jakim jest ona oparta na alegorii.
