Kuře melancholik – – Ukolébavka
Author: Josef Karel Šlejhar
2,40 €
Two works by Josef Karel Šlejhar examine human vulnerability in an unfeeling environment. Kuře melancholik centers on a young boy who lacks support at home. Ukolébavka focuses on a sick servant and the behavior of her relatives.
About the book
The boy depends on adults and their willingness to recognize his needs. The sick servant also needs help, but her relatives' interest includes her savings. Apparent care raises questions about its underlying motives.
Both works use atmosphere and an intense awareness of place and nature; a storm contributes to the experience in Ukolébavka. Psychological insight combines with social criticism in stories of people with little power to change their circumstances.
