Life

Vítězslav Hálek Vitezslav Halek Alchetron The Free Social Encyclopedia

After completing his studies at gymnasium in Prague Hálek refused to go on to study at seminary. He didn't finish his philosophical studies and instead decided to become a writer. Beginning in 1861, he worked as an editor in Národní listy, later helping publish newspapers and journals (Lumír, Zlatá Praha, Květy etc.). He worked as a journalist until his death in Prague (1874). He died suddenly of pneumonia.

Style

In his time, his writing was very popular, in part due to his optimistic and relaxed writing style.
