Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is to identify the main literary techniques in Jiří Dvořák's texts published by Baobab between 2009 and 2023 and to interpret their aesthetic and cognitive function. The study is based on qualitative text analysis and detailed interpretation of selected samples, focusing in particular on metaphor, figurative language, lyric poems, personified narration and narration with references to literary genres. The analysis shows that these devices do not only fulfill an aesthetic function, but also significantly contribute to making educational content accessible and to shaping the reader's relationship to the natural world. Literary techniques in Dvořák's texts thus function as tools of knowledge that connect the cognitive and experiential levels of reception and enable the creation of connections between natural entities and between the natural and human worlds.
