• Description: Collective monograph includes contributions by twenty authors reflecting on an expression of fantastic in literature and drama. Five thematic sections (On the Utopian Quality in Literature, Sharing the Story, World and Language, To the Roots of Not Only the Czech Fantastic, Creativity and Fantastic Quality – Stories Not Only for Children, Central-European Postmodernism) introduces the possibility of exploring the phenomenon of fantastic in terms of literary theory and history, theatre studies and cognitive science, philosophy and comparative literature. An inclusive definition of fantastic literature applied in the book allows focusing on both genre and non-genre forms of fantastic literature, and thus contributes to bridging the largely artificial boundaries between them.
