Jaroslav Seifert (1901-1986), poet and journalist, the first Czech to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1984. Seifert was the last great representative of the Czech avant-garde. He has published over 30 collections of poems... (Pegasus Author's Calendar)
Seifert was born in Ziskov, a working-class suburb of Prague, in a poor family. His father was manager of a small shop. To help him, Seifert spent his afternoons with delivering goods to customers all over Prague... In 1929, he was expelled from the Communist Party and the "collective Devetsil" (an avantgarde literary movement - in the 1920s)... In 1938 appeared Seifert's prophetic (Put out the Lights),
after the betrayal of Czechoslovakia at Munich. The working title, about the Nazi threat that hung over Prague, is one of his most famous poems... He identified himself fully with the grief of the people, and
interpreted the commonly shared feelings of betrayal and hope to survive. In 1966 he was appointed poet of the nation... In 1968, Seifert condemned the Soviet invasion of his country, which should stop all liberal tendencies... In the 1970s, his works have been implicated in circulation as underground editions. In 1977 he signed the Charter of Human Rights with 500 other (see dali48 and Human Rights & fundamental rights such as freedom of expression, press freedom and freedom of information etc. - d.48)... In this paper, Seifert renewed the spirit of the Czech avantgarde between the two world wars and during the Nazi occupation. Too old and too ill to travel to Stockholm for the prize, the poet welcomed the message from his hospital bed... Seifert died in Prague in 1986. As a folk artist Seifert was entitled to a state funeral, and it became a national event... (J. Seifert, PAC)
