Abstrakt
The study maps the crystallization of Hrabal's writing gesture. First, its variability, which is originally forced by contemporary circumstances (by editorial pressure and censorship).
Repeated return to the same themes also leads to the definition of the thematic, narrative and symbolic core of Hrabal's work. In four works by Bohumil Hrabal from the turn of the 1940s and 1950s (Kain, Utrpení starého Werthera, Bambino di Praga a Krásná Poldi) I define the starting points of Hrabal's work, which also become its constants.
I pay special attention to the special function of metaphors that are to bring them into the visible world.
