The article interprets Upřímné mínění o almanachu Lada Nióla, written by Karel Havlíček in Brixen on December 23 and 24, 1854, in which Havlíček rejected the romantic tendencies of almanac initiated by J. V.
Frič in the spirit of literary realism. Upřímné mínění... by Havlíček could not join the discussion that began after the publication of Lady Nióla in newspapers and magazines.
The author states that Frič himself distorted Havlíček's criticism of his almanac when he reported it in his later memoirs (Pametí), thus contributing to the fact that Upřímné mínění o almanachu Lada Nióla was not yet considered in the history of Czech literary criticism in the place that it deserves.
