Abstracts

PL

The author attempts to define the genological structure of Stories from a Pocket and Stories from Another Pocket by Karel Čapek. The analysis of titles and content of stories leads to the conclusion that in search of a way to disseminate culture, to create popular literature, however with high artistic values, by applying his own invention the Czech author went far beyond mere replication of detective and criminal novel patterns commonly used in Euro-Atlantic culture. His ingenuity in the “genre instrumentation” of these short detective and criminal stories was remarkable and produced great results.
