About the author

František Gellner

27 books22 followers
František Gellner was a Czech poet, short story writer, artist and anarchist. His first poems are full of irony in Heinrich Heine's style. In 1901 he published his first collection called Po nás ať přijde potopa! (After Us Let the Floods Come!) in which he used especially sexual motifs without any embellishments. The next collection Radosti života (Joys of Life) shifted the point of view from subject to object and throws the disbelief more on society. The rhythm of the poems is close to vaudeville verses or chansons. Nové verše (New Verses, published posthumously in 1919) are not so pathetic as if seen from a distance with a lot of nonchalance. He also wrote satirical poems in Karel Havlíček Borovský's style which were published mostly in papers and journals.

Bohém je soubor Gellnerových básnických sbírek Po nás ať přijde potopa, Radosti života, Nové verše; mimo to obsahuje i básně, které do žádné ze sbírek zařazeny nebyly.
Celý soubor bych proto nazvala jistým vhledem do Gellnerovy tvorby, do jeho poezie; je tam jednoduše vše.
Gellnerův básnický talent nelze zapřít; je úžasné sledovat postupnou změnu v náladě básní - od depresivních, přes lehce ponuré až po zcela radostné.
Upozorňuji však na básně sexuální, o ženách (některé jsou pro ženy degradující).
Celý soubor shrnuji jako kvalitní tvorbu.
