Abstract: This case study focuses on the changes that took place between the magazine and the book editions of Václav Kubec’s novel. For the book edition, the author updated and significantly changed the text in line with the new political situation in 1938. This textual strategy disrupts the commonly established understanding of popular literature, whereby a certain textual apathy on the part of the authors is highlighted as one of the typical elements. This study points to the transformations in the text as well as to the transformations in the genre segment typical of the period (adventure novels in an aviation setting). |
