Josef Hora

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Josef Hora (8 July 1891 - 21 June 1945) was one of the most important figures in twentieth century Czech literature. He is famous mainly as a poet, but he also won recognition as a prose writer, literary critic, translator from Russian, German and Serbo-Croatian and as a literary and political publicist. His work created a link with Czech prewar modernism, closely associated with the literary trends of vitalism and civilism.
