Summary/Abstract: In the life and creative story of Jaroslava Blažková, we have the opportunity to follow the line of several changes. They concern political and ideological movements in Slovakia in the 50s and 60s of the 20th century, as well as ideological interventions in literature (including literature for children and youth). The creative generation of that time not only addressed issues of a creative nature, but also had to respond to the ideological demands of literature during the socialist period. The uprising against this lack of freedom was punished - Jaroslava Blažková was convinced of it, which literary critics appreciated and condemned at the same time. In her recent books, it is clear that she refines the intensity of ironic views, but does not change the hierarchy of values resulting from tolerance and human harmony. The irony in the last books published after the year 2000 is the result of the author’s point of view, which, while brilliantly revealing every non-harmonizing knowledge, also alleviates this clash of opinions.
