The Czech poet Vítězslav Nezval (1900-1958) produced an extensive body of modernist work. As well as drama and translations, he left a trailblazing poetic legacy. Perhaps his most significant work is the eulogistic poem EDISON (1928), a masterpiece of poetism. Vitalis is thrilled to introduce the German-speaking public to this literary delicacy and one of the 20th century’s great Czech masters.
