The Mystifications of a Nation: "The Potato Bug" and Other Essays on Czech CultureUniv of Wisconsin Press, 18. 11. 2010 - Počet stran: 139 A keen observer of culture, Czech writer Vladimír Macura (1945–99) devoted a lifetime to illuminating the myths that defined his nation. The Mystifications of a Nation, the first book-length translation of Macura’s work in English, offers essays deftly analyzing a variety of cultural phenomena that originate, Macura argues, in the “big bang” of the nineteenth-century Czech National Revival, with its celebration of a uniquely Czech identity. |
