Labor - a poem by Swatopluk Čech , written by him in 1886 for the book Workers for themselves. The last four stanzas of the poem (most of it) were forbidden by censorship and only saw the light after the death of the poet. The work celebrates labor activity and passes a condemning sentence on the exploiters in the hope that in the future liberation will take place and labor will triumph on the earth.
Artistic Features
The poem much deeper, more clearly and with greater artistic power develops the ideas that were reflected by the poet in his early works Despot , The Fate of the Poor and some others. [1] At the same time, the poem was a kind of response to the exacerbation of the class struggle that manifested itself in the Czech Republic in the second half of the 1980s, thereby laying the foundation for a number of works more ideologically and artistically performed by Swatopluck Čech.
