Summary/Abstract: This study consists of an analysis of the work by the contemporary author Daniela Fischerová whose literary production can be understood as the representation of many possible intentions. It can even be viewed as a hidden dialogue with the theses of neo-structuralism, analytical philosophy and hermeneutics. The distinct character of the narrative approach in the Duhová jiskra (Rainbow Spark) and Jiskra ve sněhu (Spark in the Snow) prose stories is in the fact that Fischerová seems to suppress, in some sense, her own authorship by writing texts which seem to recall on the surface fairy tales, legends and anecdotes, but actually are more reminiscent of archaistic gnomes, moving on the arch of various cultures and thinking, returning to the narrative approach from the pre-modern period to the beginnings when culture and civilization legitimised itself by means of stories – récis. The impressive shorter prose works are of interest for both adults and children, opening up new horizons of interpretative possibilities.
