Former politician, writer and father of Adela Vinczeová (45), Jozef Banáš (77), presented the novel Tíchá rebelka Timrava on October 23, which is about Bozena Slančíková Timrava. For almost two years he collected, sorted materials and wrote his new work. At the launch of his new book, his daughter Adela Vinczeová was not missing, who really dug into him, writes .
The idea for the novel popped into the presenter’s head. “Also at my suggestion that you finally write something about an important Slovak woman. And since my father is a very important person in my life, in many things it is like that even if we don’t agree, we also discuss it, it’s important for me to have a person close to me with whom we look at things differently and know how to go about it, so it’s so important to me“, Adela revealed in the show what kind of relationship she has with her father.
It’s no secret that Adela’s and her father’s opinion diverges, especially in political matters. Despite this, they can communicate with each other normally. During the presentation of the new book, Vinczeová and Banáš discussed the life of Božena Slančíková Timrava.
“I don’t want to scare you, Jozef, but she was progressive,” Adela took a dig at her father, who is a critic of the Progressive Slovakia party, whose leader is Michal Šimečka. She alluded to the rebelliousness of one of the most famous authors of her generation. In her work, Bozena Slančíková Timrava was not afraid to openly criticize social conditions, pretense and the position of women in her time. “Well, you scared me then,” Banáš responded teasingly.
