  • Václav Jaroslav Karel Pinkava (Czech pronunciation: [ˈvaːtslaf ˈjaroslaf ˈkarɛl ˈpɪŋkava]; 9 December 1926 – 13 August 1995), better known by his pen name Jan Křesadlo (pronounced [ˈjan ˈkr̝ɛsadlo]), was a Czech psychologist who was also a prizewinning novelist and poet. An anti-communist, Pinkava emigrated to Britain with his wife and four children following the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet-led armies of the Warsaw pact. He worked as a clinical psychologist until his early retirement in 1982, when he turned to full-time writing. His first novel "Mrchopěvci" (GraveLarks) was published by Josef Škvorecký's emigre publishing house 68 Publishers, and earned the 1984 Egon Hostovský prize. He chose his pseudonym (which means firesteel) partly because it contains the uniquely Czech sound ř; in addition, he was fond of creating more pseudonyms such as Jake Rolands (an anagram), J. K. Klement (after his grandfather, for translations into English), Juraj Hron (for his Slovak-Moravian writings), Ferdinand Lučovický z Lučovic a na Suchým dole (for his music), Kamil Troud (for his illustrations), Ἰωάννης Πυρεῖα (for his Astronautilia), and more. Pinkava was also active in choral music, composing (among others) a Glagolitic Mass. As well, he worked in mathematical logic, discovering the many-valued logic algebra which bears his name. A polymath and polyglot, Pinkava was fond of setting intense goals for himself, such as translating Jaroslav Seifert's interwoven sonnet cycle about Prague, 'A Wreath of Sonnets'. He published a collection of his own poems in seven languages. Perhaps his most staggering achievement is ΑΣΤΡΟΝΑΥΤΙΛΙΑ Hvězdoplavba, a 6575-line science fiction epic poem, an odyssey in classical Homeric Greek, with its parallel hexameter translation into Czech. This was published shortly after his death, in a limited edition. (ISBN 80-237-2452-5)Only his first, prize-winning novel has been published in English translation, as GraveLarks in a bilingual edition in 1999 (ISBN 9788086013817) and in a revised edition in 2015 (ISBN 9780993377303) He is the father of film director Jan Pinkava who received an Oscar for Geri's Game in 1998 and also illustrated GraveLarks.

  • Jan Křesadlo (Praga, 9 dicembre 1926 – Colchester, 13 agosto 1995) è stato un artista ceco.Jan Křesadlo è in realtà lo pseudonimo più noto dello psicologo Václav Jaroslav Karel Pinkava, apprezzato soprattutto come illustratore, musicista, matematico, traduttore, romanziere e poeta. Anticomunista, emigrò in Gran Bretagna con la moglie e i loro quattro figli nel 1968 in seguito all'invasione della Cecoslovacchia da parte delle armate del blocco sovietico aderente al Patto di Varsavia. Lavorò come psicologo fino al 1982, quando decise di ritirarsi dalla professione medica per dedicarsi a tempo pieno alla scrittura e all'arte. Il suo primo romanzo Mrchopěvci (trad. inglese GraveLarks, Praga 1999, ISBN 80-86013-81-2) fu originariamente pubblicato da , fondatore a Toronto della casa editrice , importante voce dei transfughi cecoslovacchi, e vinse nel 1984 il premio . Scelse il suo noto pseudonimo, che in ceco significa acciarino, in parte perché contiene il suono peculiare della lingua ceca; si divertì inoltre a costruirsi altri pseudonimi, per differenziarsi nelle opere di tutta la sua produzione artistica: tra gli altri, Jake Rolands (anagramma dello pseudonimo precedente), J. K. Klement (dal nome di suo nonno materno Jaroslav Klement, che tra l'altro vantava origini italiane, per le traduzioni in inglese), Juraj Hron (per i suoi scritti moravi), Ferdinand Lučovický z Lučovic a na Suchým dole (per la musica) e Kamil Troud (per le illustrazioni). Autodidatta straordinario e poliglotta eclettico, Pinkava si pose sempre obiettivi artistici di grande rilievo, come ad esempio la traduzione del ciclo di poesie dedicate a Praga di Jaroslav Seifert che va sotto il nome di . Ancora, pubblicò una raccolta di sue proprie poesie composte in sette lingue diverse. Ma la sua opera più bizzarra e meravigliosa è Ἀστροναυτιλία / Hvězdoplavba, un poema fantascientifico di 6.575 esametri in greco neo-omerico, con traduzione ceca a fronte, pubblicato postumo in edizione manoscritta anastatica (ISBN 80-237-2452-5). È il padre del regista Jan Pinkava, che ha vinto un premio Oscar per il cortometraggio d'animazione Geri's Game nel 1998. (it)
