Three Melodramas - Martin Hybler

24. listopad 2006

A strong tension between Desire and Disillusionment, tension between an idea of vigorous and beautiful life and the surrounding social reality in which the idea cannot be carried out, those are the specifics of the early work of the poet Fráňa Šrámek (1877 - 1952). There we may found the origin of his ever failing heroes and tragic or bitter conclusions of his stories.

Gradually, Šrámek moves his attention to that least affected by the distorting tensions of the society - the intensive love experience, the relationship between man and nature and what is most important, to the youth that grabs the world with ever hungry and eager senses. The poems "Dívka" (Maiden) and "Žena a jediný" (Woman and the Only One) from the book "Splav" (Weir) and the poem "Pane, kupte hada" (Sir, Buy a Snake) are set together into a short melodramatic cycle for their particularly melodic flow of speech. Šrámek created an extraordinary way of expressing the changeover of a young maiden into a fully-grown woman.
