Self-Narration in Tradition and History

Summary/Abstract: Závada’s novels represent the changes that occured in literature and history in the second half of the 20th century. Talking about the past is perceived as a narrative structure, knowing that the stories of the past (historical or literary work) are constructed stories, they do not portray wholly, since they are the result of selection, each written document is a text that lays the barriers for objectivity. The Jadviga párnája and Milota explore the dimensions by which the macro historical events, narratives become part of the micro historical level, it shows how these stories, family traditions, personal stories shape the identity of people. These are the stories and their narration depends on the perspective, the given narrator, who moulds it according to his own pretensions. Thus the objective history, the reality beyond the narrative disappears.
