Jakub Arbes
Jakub Arbes (June 12, 1840, Prague (Smíchov) – April 8, 1914, Prague) was a Czech writer and journalist, sympathizer of the Májovci literary group and creator of the new genre called romanetto. Although sympathetic to the Májovci group, he was not part of it, because they created under different circumstances.
Life
He was a pupil of Jan Neruda for the short time, later he studied polytechnic. However, his studies remained unfinished, and Arbes decided to devote himself to the journalist profession. From 1867 to 1877 he worked in the Národní listy newspaper. In 1873 - 1874 was Arbes tried and arrested as a member of the opposing movement.[1] Later he cooperated with Jiří Karásek ze Lvovic and Josef Svatopluk Machar, the prominent members of Czech culture in that time.
