Quick Summary

Slezské písně (Silesian Songs) is a collection of poems by Petr Bezruč, a prominent Czech poet. Written primarily between 1899 and 1900, these poems focus on the people of Czech Silesia. Bezruč viewed them as a people facing denationalization due to the influence of German industrialists and Polish clergy.1

Through this local theme, Bezruč created poetry that resonated with national and universal significance. The collection, which grew from 31 poems in its initial periodical publication to 88 in its final collected edition in 1956, is a powerful expression of his concern for his people.1
