20th Century Czech Literature
The Czech magazine Tyden
surveyed 25 literary critics and academics in February, 1999, asking
them to name the best works of Czech literature of the 20th Century,
not including plays or poetry, or works written in German (thus
eliminating most of the work of German-writing Kafka, playwright
Vaclav Havel, and poet Jaroslav Seifert, among others). Here is
the result:
1) Hasek, Jaroslav. The Good Soldier Svejk.
2) Hrabal, Bohumil. Too Loud a Solitude (1976).
3) Vancura, Vladislav. Marketa Lazarova.
4) Skvorecky, Josef. The Cowards.
5) Kundera, Milan. The Joke.
6) Vaculik, Ludvik. Czech Dreambook.
7) Capek, Karel. An Ordinary Life (1935).
8)
9) Olbracht, Ivan. Golet in the Valley.
10) Capek, Josef. Crippled Pilgrim.
