Summary/Abstract: Prof. PhDr. Aleš Haman, DrSc., who passed away on December 7, 2023, at the age of 91, was a distinguished figure in literary science, excelling as a literary theorist, historian, and critic. He also contributed as an editor and translator of scholarly texts from English and French. Haman shared his extensive knowledge and experience for nearly two decades at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen and the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, where he founded and led the Institute of Aesthetics and Art History. His career included positions at the State Medical Publishing House, the Institute for Czech and World Literature of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, and the National Library.
