THE IMAGE OF THE AUTHOR IN V. HALEK'S EARLY PROSE (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE STORY «BAIRAMA»)

Abstract

The article studies the story «Bairama»
which belongs to early period of creative work of Czech
writer V. Halek. The objective of the analysis was to
show how the category of the author is expressed in a
text. It was elicited that images of the story-teller and the
author merge. The author reveals himself only in details:
in description of the Czech everyday life, nature, traditions,
characters features, phylosophical reflections,
while dialogues play greater role and take up the bigger
part of the story. The lexical-stylistic component also
testifies to the distinction in positions of the author and
the character.
