| Description | The article deals with the comparison between the works of the main representatives of the Surrealism in the Greek and Czech literature in the period between the two wars, A. Embirikos and V. Nezval. The collections of their poems are examined with regard to their distinct approach to the representation of a woman and the motif of female body that have bearing on the artist’s attitude to the macrocosm of the surrounding world. Among other things the analysis showed that both Greek and Czech surrealist poets were to a large extent influenced by previous literary and historical developments in their respective countries. |
