Jiří Horák a adaptace české lidové pohádky
Abstract
The paper creates a career and research profile of Jiří Horák, a major Czech literary scholar and editor specializing in Slavonic, folkloristic and ethnographic studies. Its main focus is the comprehensive description of Horák's original approach to the creative adaptation of Czech folk tales for children. His method is placed into the historical context through the analysis of two Horák's collections of fairy tales Český Honza and České pohádky published in the first half of the 1940s, and through the comparison of selected model texts with their adaptations.
