Abstracts

EN

Genre of „besednica“ (talk) was quite frequent and favourite among writers at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Short texts on the border between journalism and literature, similar to feuilletons, were regularly published in periodicals of the era. In Czech cultural milieu, roughly from the 1840s onwards, the notions of „črta“ (feature), as well as „obraz“ (image) or „obrazy ze života“ (images from life) appeared in works by J. K. Tyl, B. Němcová, J. Neruda and J. Arbes. These genres meant that two fields, literature and journalism, got closer to each other. Short texts written by Martin Kukučín and published in the Národnie noviny (National Newspaper) in the late 1880s and early 1890s create a cycle known as pragensiae (works originated in Prague). These are Zimná sezóna v Prahe (Winter Season in Prague) from 1889 which informs about theatre performances in Prague; Malé črty z veľkého mesta (Small Features from the Big City) and Dve hodiny medzi zákonodarcami (Two Hours Among Lawmakers), both from 1890; as well as several texts about the exhibition in Prague written in 1891, such as Praha v znamení výstavy (Prague under the Sign of Exhibition), Prechádzka po výstavisku I.– II. (Walking in the Exhibition I–II) and Prechádzky po výstavke v Prahe I.– III. (Walking in the Exhibition in Prague I–III).
