„Ah, the young gentleman has got up! Motifs of the drinking spree and time management discipline in the work of František Gellner”
Kořínková, Lucie
This article deals with the motifs of time management discipline and transgressions against it in the literary and artistic work of František Gellner. In works from his youth we very often come across the motifs of the drinking spree, sleeping off a drinking spree and ''immoral'' time management. This motif is associated here with the general need of the author to define himself in relation to middle class orderliness and its banality, while almost always raising questions regarding moral transgressions and the long-term unsustainability of rebellious youth attitudes. The study concludes by considering the changing face of this motif in the final period of Gellner's work, when he was working at Lidové noviny in Brno. This stage in Gellner's life not only provided him with a well-established middle-class existence in the form of regular employment for a newspaper editorial office, but also meant that this newspaper work of his often had a distinctly idyllic tone when dealing with the same middle-class orderliness and regularity.
