Krátky popis
Ploughshares into Swords is an expressionist anti-war novel in
which Vančura tells the story of the denizens of the Ouhrov estate
in language as baroque as the manor that ties them all together.
The fragmented narrative introduces the reader to such characters
as the Baron Danowitz, his sons, his French concubine, the farmhand
František Horá, and the half-wit murderer Řeka in the autumn of
1913, before revealing their fates during the First World War.
Spanning an area that stretches from the peaceful farmlands of
Bohemia to the battlefields of Galicia, taking in the pubs of
Budapest and the hospitals of Cracow, the novel constitutes an
unsentimental and naturalistic approach to the war that created
Czechoslovakia through a conscious subversion of the prophet
Isaiah’s injunction that nations should beat their swords into
ploughshares. Ploughshares into Swords is a stunning novel by one
of Czech literature’s most important writers. This modernist
masterpiece, akin to the work of Isaac Babel and William Faulkner,
is now available in English for the very first time.
