Gabriela Preissová
![Gabriela Preissová ([[Jan Vilímek](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/10/Gabriela_Preissova_Vilimek.jpg)
Preissová mostly wrote stories full of optimism and the joy of life idealising village life. Her stories first appeared in the early 1890s. The more significant appeared in a three-volume collection. Her books, written in the 1920s, were about the tragic rural life of the Carinthian Slavs, usually with a strong woman as a heroine. These dramas didn't achieve the artistic spontaneity of her early work. Themes of her stories were mostly the affairs of young lovers and the obstacles to their consummation. Some tales were set to music, such as ''Eva'' by Josef Bohuslav Foerster and ''Jenůfa'', an opera by Janáček. Provided by Wikipedia
