Krátky popis
In 1926, the communist avant-garde poet Konstantin Biebl (18981951)
travelled from Czechoslovakia to the Dutch East Indies. In his
texts, poetic and often comic, both landlocked Bohemia and the
colonized tropical islands are seen disorientingly anew, like
mirrors looking at themselves in each other. On This Modern
Highway, Lost in the Jungle takes the reader on a journey
crisscrossing the poets life and work, with particular attention to
his travel writing and his dreams and memories of travel, as they
mirror the book authors own life experience as a Czech scholar of
Indonesia living in island Southeast Asia. Biebls poetry and
travels are also the books point of departure for a broader
exploration of the intersections of travel and poetry, the
attitudes to colonial/social injustice, and the representation of
otherness in Czech literary and visual imagination, beyond Biebls
times. In its attention to how poetic travel reflects the Czech
historical experience in the shadow of imperial nations, the book
moves scholarly reflection on literary travel, modernity, and
colonialism to a new ground. Jan Mrázek grew up in Czechoslovakia
and lives on an island in the Malay Archipelago. He is Associate
Professor in Southeast Asian Studies at the National University of
Singapore and has published widely on Indonesia, seafaring, and
Czech travel writing.
