Abstract

Josef Toman divided his novel Sokrates (1975) into seven parts separated by intermezzi. In the prosaic composition he used hour time, epistolary components, Gods’ motives and significant chapters. A considerable role is represented by deus ex machina in the text. The work is concluded by mortal finale and paradox explicit. Toman’s interpretation of the Greek philosopher is close to the one by J. L. Fischer.
