    0.18 sec.

Vancura, Vladislav (1891–1942)

Czech novelist. He wrote in a picturesque style, incorporating archaisms, slang, dialect, convoluted sentences, and striking imagery. His antiwar novel Pole orná a válečná/Fields for War and Fields for Ploughing 1925 satirizes the attitude of both peasantry and nobility to events surrounding World War I. A communist, he was executed during the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia.

His historical novel Markéta Lazarová 1931 is a prose poem in praise of health, strength, and vitality.
