| Description | Bonaventura Tecchi (1896-1968), Italian prose writer and literary critic (professor of German literature at the University of Rome), worked in the years 1933-37 as a lecturer of the Italian language and literature at universities in Brno and Bratislava. His stay in Moravia inspired him to write a collection of autobiographical stories, Idilli moravi (1939), in which author’s memories are mixed with his imagination. Tecchi uses the expression «idyll» in its original Greek meaning, i.e. «scene» or «sketch». Idilli moravi is a book in which lyrical descriptions of atmosphere and settings entwine to people’s stories. However, as the writer himself points out, not all the situations and characters depicted in the collection are idyllic. |
