The study about the work of Věra Sládková (1927–2006) is the first publication interpreting the literary work of this excellent Moravian writer – the author of books such as Poslední vlak z Frývaldova (The Last Train from Frývaldov) or Malý muž a velká žena (The Little Man and the Big Woman) that became famous thanks to the film adaptation Vlak dětství a naděje (The Train of Childhood and Hope) directed by Karel Kachyňa.
