Vladislav Vančura: The end will fix everything

"In the end, every young man and every young lady or girl will embark on a journey of discovery and will wander in the universe of love, whose immense time and immense paths are within the tiny heart. " There are not many authors in Czech literature whose language and style is so distinctive that we can recognise them in every sentence. Vladislav Vančura (1891 - 1942) definitely occupies a leading place among them. Since the late 1920s, when he left the practice of medicine, he devoted himself entirely to literature, and not just as a writer, journalist and critic, but also e.g. as chairman of Devětsil or the Czech Film Society. In 1982, director Josef Melč adapted and filmed Vladislav Vančura's whimsical novel The End Will Make Everything Right.
