ABSTRACT The study deals with the attitude of the Vatican towards the situation in Czechoslovakia in 1938–1939, within the context of international events on the eve of the Second World War. It describes and analyzes Czechoslovak-Vatican diplomatic relations, which underwent a rapid transformation in the second half of the 1930s. The Holy See had deep concerns about the escalating tension between Germans and Czechs in Czechoslovakia and between that country and Nazi Germany. With the threat of conflict, Pope Pius XI pleaded for peace. In the late 1930s, when Czechoslovakia became internationally isolated, the Vatican represented one of the few international voices in support of Czechoslovakia.

ABSTRACT This study is concerned with the topology of shelter in literary texts of several Central European authors who in various times shared similar thoughts and/or experiences connected with exile in the period of the Cold War and its roots. The starting point is the word úkryt (shelter), which was employed by the writer Egon Hostovský for the title of a novel set in the period of the Second World War. In Hostovský’s psychologically-charged space of shelter, one can find parallels to the work of Franz Kafka, especially his piece ‘The Burrow’ (Der Bau). Hostovský in his postwar work comes up with a different interpretation of homelessness, which corresponds with the conceptions of philosopher Vilém Flusser, with the prose of W.G. Sebald, and works by other authors. The conclusion of this article is dedicated to the Czech poet Ivan Blatný, whose poetry can be read as the construction of a shelter through the medium of writing.
