A notable Czech poet and prose writer; born at Ostredek, Feb. 21, 1846. He was editor in succession of several journals, and at the same time practiced law. After winning some celebrity as a writer of stories and short poems, he made a bolder flight in 1872 with "Dreams", in which he shows great epic power. Besides "Dreams", he has written several other poems, as "The Adamites"; "The Storm"; "Songs of Morning". He is the most popular of Czech poets. As a novelist he excels in lively wit and rich humor. Among his works of prose fiction may be named: "Stories, Arabesques, and Humoresques", and the most amusing "Candidate for Immortality". He wrote also (1885) "Memories from the Orient", fruit of his travels.
