Author's fairy tale in contemporary Czech literature for children
TURKOVÁ, Jana
Annotation The theme of this diploma thesis is Czech author fairy-tale from 1989 onwards. The first three chapters deal with general information on author fairy-tale, its reader and its history. In the fourth chapter we reflect on original Czech children's books published after 1989 and attempt to describe the current state and developing trends. We selected several representative fairy-tale books and divided them into three principle types of the contemporary Czech author fairy- tale. The imitative-innovative type is closest to the folklore tradition, the nonsense-parodical type is based on parody or negation of the folk fairy-tale, and the imaginative type is based on symbol, metaphor and allegory. We identified another type of modern fairy-tale and called it the fairy-tale mixed into a real story. It comes out of the nonsense-parodical type and sits on the edge between fairy-tale and real prose. The aim of this diploma thesis is to describe the main trends in contemporary Czech author fairy-tale and to apply them to the selected children's books.
