AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I am offering a rare, author-signed copy, dedicated to Václav Černý, a prominent literary historian.
“5 Plays and One One-Act Play” is the Czech edition of a collection of dramatic works by French philosopher and playwright Jean-Paul Sartre, published in Prague in 1962 by Státní nakladatelství krásné literatury a umění.
The book gathers five full-length plays and one one-act play, showcasing Sartre’s dramatic output from the 1940s and 1950s. Among the included works are No Exit, The Respectful Prostitute, The Devil and the Good Lord, Kean, The Condemned of Altona, and The Holes in the Sky (Někrasov).
Václav Černý (1895–1987) was a prominent Czech literary historian, critic, and theorist. He specialized in Czech and world literature of the 19th and 20th centuries, literary modernism, and aesthetics. He authored numerous studies, essays, and critical works focused on the interpretation of literary texts and literary theory.
Černý was known for his analytical depth, erudition, and ability to connect literature with broader cultural and philosophical contexts. His work had a significant impact on Czech literary scholarship and education, and many of his texts became essential reading for students of literature.
In addition to his scholarly work, Václav Černý was dedicated to popularizing literature and critical thinking, and he remained a highly respected figure in Czech cultural life.
Seller's Story
I strive to find and offer you the most interesting items from Prague’s antiquarian bookstores and second-hand shops: autographs, rarities, photographs, bibliophilia, old prints, posters, maps, catalogs, high-quality or sold-out books, as well as fine art.
Prague has always been a meeting point of cultures and languages. Especially during the 20th century, Czechoslovakia was visited by numerous world-renowned artists, writers, scientists, and other notable figures who left their mark here and established connections with local culture or institutions. So the selection here will be rich in provenance — including German, French, English, Russian, or, for example, Italian.
However, I will also aim to highlight more or less well-known Czech artists and noteworthy items — of interest to collectors and art lovers, especially those passionate about autographs, fine art, and related fields.
