Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the works of prose by contemporary Czech philosopher, biologistand essayist Stanislav Komarek, specifically on three novels, sometimes referred to as“irregular trilogy”: Opšlstisova nadace (Opšlstis Foundation, 2002), Černý domeček (BlackHouse, 2004) and Mandaríni (Mandarins, 2007). With the use of analytical-interpretiveprobes the study aims to find out and prove whether the principle of irregularity itselfmight work as a connecting link between the texts on different levels, especially regardingthe genre structure, fictional setting and the way how aluctions and mystificationsare utilized within the texts.
