Summary/Abstract: The study Reflection of the October in Czech novels analyses several novels that originated in the twentieths of the twentieth century. Their authors, K.M. Čapek Chod, A.M. Tilschová and B. Benešová, reflect the change of social climate during the war and immediately after it. They connect the rise of the new State, a democratic Republic, with the notion of liberation from empty social norms connected with the world before the war. Characters of these novels are undergoing a catharsis that liberates them and opens new perspectives of life for them.
