Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

In the countries of the former Yugoslavia, the work of Karel Čapek, although better known today for his children’s books, is read and enjoyed in general because of his artistry, his visions, and the originality of his ideas, even eighty years after his death. As the White Plague was strongly opposed by the Czechs before the II. World War, it was not well received in some ex-Yugoslav countries either. Such a situation prevailed in Serbia, where the plot caused a sensation and a huge political scandal. The White Plague was moved out of repertoires and forbidden to be played almost in all theatres in the country. After II. World War the plot could not be staged at all because of the former leader of Yugoslavia, Tito Marshal.

In Czech

Stejně jako vyvolávala Bílá nemoc ostré polemiky ve spisovatelově vlasti, nebyla přijata kladně ani v některých zemích bývalé Jugoslávie, kde text vyvolal senzaci a podobu nejen divadelního, ale i politického skandálu. Karel Čapek byl už od roku 1937 na území bývalé Jugoslávie velmi známý. Jeho díla byla překládána, vydávána a inscenována v divadlech a bez ohledu na zákaz hraní Bílé nemoci v některých jugoslavských divadlech byl Čapek tamějšímu publiku stále připomínán. Naposledy se mohlo jugoslávské publikum podívat na Bílou nemoc v roce 1945 ve slovinském Prešernově divadle v Kranji. Přitom už v té době ani Čapek, ani jeho hra o epidemii bílé nemoci nepředstavovali problém. Tím bylo jen to velké „M“ v postavě Maršála.
