Abstract
The study deals with a comparison between the novel Žluté oči vedou domů (2007) written by Markéta Pilátová and one variation of the aesthetic concept of magical realism. The story based on author’s own experience is focused on several stories of the principal characters of the novel that are living in different surroundings. A significant portion of the novel unfolds in South America, where the tension between reality and the supernatural is perceptible. The goal of the article is to show thematically specific passages of the novel and analyse them on the basis of the defined characteristic features of magical realism. The theoretical base of this article is formed by the ideas about magical realism by Emil Volek (1990), summarized in the article Realismo mágico entre la modernidad y la postmodernidad: hacia una remodelización cultural y discursiva de la nueva narrativa hispanoamericana. Volek’s article focuses on Latin American literature; however, his theses about magical realism are universally applicable.
