Popis: The study The History in the poetry of Janko Kráľ as a territory of struggle between the good and the evil analyses the philosophy of history in the poet’s conception. It shows that Kráľ understood the history as a tragedy caused by a man in Eden. It was protohistory of the evil in the world like a consequence of free will of the man. The act of choice repeats in the history of mankind many times in micro and also macro measures. The history is a result of permanent repeating of the first sin model and the line of it declines. The evil is permanently present in the acts of human being and the graduation will reach out the deadline when the righteous are separated from unrighteous ones. The poet´s voice is a voice of prophet. He prophesies things that can not be taken back but he gives an opportunity of salvation in the line of Christian doctrine. This view on the history comes from the Scripture and it tends to eschaton especially in its Old Testament form. In the prophetic expectations the Christian faith is connected with romantic desire for goodness and truth.
