Petr Holman: Nature in Otokar Březina's Work
Karolinum, Praha, 2014, 240 pp. ISBN 9788024627465
The aim of the nine studies prepared in the years 2003–2013 is to discuss the symbolism, practical usage and the contextual meaning of the terms, metaphors and other, surprisingly frequent and masterfully used terminology from the sphere of natural sciences in the poetic and essayistic work of Otokar Březina (1868–1929) and also in his correspondence.
The aim of the book Nature in Otokar Březina’s Work is also to mediate the work of Březina to those interested abroad, and at the same time to contribute to the knowledge of Czech literature beyond the geopolitical, geographical and linguistic area of the exclusively Czech milieu.
