One hundred years since the birth of František Listopad - the first literary evening

Publication

Abstract

The writer František Listopad (1921-2017), known in Portugal as Jorge Listopad, said of himself as "how many" in one of the interviews. As part of the program dedicated to this artist, who has become an important figure on the Czech and Portuguese cultural scene, we will try to outline just the many personalities and literary works.

Although František Listopad blurred cultural boundaries, he was able to preserve the facts that are inherent in the cultures of his beloved language areas, thus creating a unique bond between two European countries. The lecture will be given by the Portuguese Karolina Válová, with the help of doctoral student Petra Šantorová, and excerpts from November's workhsop work will be read by students Sandra Jankotová and Kateřina Fučíková from the Prague Faculty of Arts and Věra Vidoňová and Laura Obžerová from the Brno Faculty of Arts.
