PRAVDA A LOŽ V LITERÁRNEJ TEMATIZAZÁCII VOJNY A SLOVENSKÉHO NÁRODNÉHO POVSTANIA (ŤAŽKÉHO PIVNICA PLNÁ VLKOV AKO ROMÁN – PRAVDA)

Abstract

The war novel by Ladislav Ťažký (1960s) represents a non-conformist (deideologised) artistic concept which refuses falsifying of the post-war history typical for the contemporary socialist realism. The novel is focused on two diffe-rent topics – the war and the following period of collectivisation. Ťažký perceives the two as comparable acts of violence as the true nature of collectivisation was not in line with the official ideology. People who had sacrificed so much to make their lives after the war more humane fell victim to it.
