Vítězslav Hálek (also known as Vincenc Hálek; Czech pronunciation: [ˈviːcɛslaf ˈɦaːlɛk]; 5 April 1835 – 8 October 1874) was a Czech poet, writer, journalist, dramatist and theatre critic.
Hálek was born in Dolínek, Austrian Empire, today part of Odolena Voda in the Czech Republic.[1] In 1841–1842, he lived in Zálezlice.[2]
After completing his studies at gymnasium in Prague Hálek refused to go on to study at seminary. He didn't finish his philosophical studies and instead decided to become a writer. Beginning in 1861, he worked as an editor in Národní listy, later helping publish newspapers and journals (Lumír, KvětyorZlatá Praha, which he founded). He worked as a journalist until his death in Prague in 1874. He died suddenly of pneumonia.[1][3]
He is considered one of the most important representatives of the May School, along with Jan Neruda.[3]
In his time, his writing was very popular, in part due to his optimistic and relaxed writing style.
