Czech translations of the literature of the Caribbean and French Guiana

Publication at Faculty of Education |
2023

Abstract

The chapter expertly discusses all 13 Czech translations of Martinique, Guadeloupe, Haitian and Guyanese literature. The poetry of the Caribbean has been published in Czech since 1923, both as a book and as a magazine.

The stylistic choice between literary and colloquial Czech is complicated in Caribbean literature by the presence of the Creole language, which also gives rise to original literary poetics.
