Návrat vesnického realismu (?)

The article introduces Martin Františák's drama works. All four texts – Doma (At home), Nevěsta (A Bride), Tvůj děda (Your grandpa), and Karla – include certain distinctive features typical of the rural realistic dramas as written at the end of the 19th century. Based on these similarities, the author characterizes Františák's way of writing dramas as "dreamy realism" – a realistic narrative technique based on thorough knowledge of the depicted surroundings combined with metaphorical, lyrical passages.
