About event
A literary-musical evening directed by Miloš Sládek.
At first it may seem that we will not break away from the issues typical of the so-called red library. But then we will turn to the texts that entered the world of higher literature from folklore and at the same time influenced folklore in return. We will simply try to delight you with a few fairy tales that noble lords and noble ladies once listened to in their palaces.
The cycle of evenings, of which this is the ninth and penultimate one, continues the programs from Czech Baroque literature that we presented at the Museum of Literature during the last season. He wants to point out the similarities and above all the differences between Czech and European early modern literature. It will focus mainly on Italian, Spanish, French, German and partially English prose. At the same time, the cycle is a small celebration of Czech translators of the 20th century. It is a relatively little-known fact that the Czech translations of the most important European literary works of the early modern period belong to the masterpieces of translation, to the absolute top of modern world translation. We will proceed chronologically, but taking into account certain contexts and genre connections.
Speaker: Miloš Sládek, Jean-Gaspard Páleníček.
Musical accompaniment: Ritornello ensemble (artistic director: Michael Pospíšil).
Free entry.
