Vladislav Vančura

Personalità particolarmente complessa, è considerato il massimo rappresentante dell'espressionismo ceco: nella sua opera confluiscono inoltre motivi e influssi della cosiddetta corrente proletaria, che operò nella letteratura ceca subito dopo la prima guerra mondiale. Audace sperimentatore nella ricerca stilistica e di linguaggio, è autore di numerosi romanzi, tra cui si ricordano Il fornaio Jan Marhoul, del 1924; Campi di battaglia e arabili, del 1925, allucinante quadro della prima guerra mondiale; Markéta Lazarová, del 1931; La fine dei vecchi tempi, del 1934; I tre fiumi, del 1936.
