Early life
Jan Neruda was born in Prague, Bohemia, son of a small grocer who lived in the Malá Strana district. They lived on jezd Street at the beginning, but later, when he was four, they moved to Ostruhová Street (now called Nerudova Street in his honor), where they later lived in "U Dvou Slunc" (At the Two Suns).
His studies started in 1845 at the local Grammar school before moving to the Academic Grammar School in Clementinum in 1850. Heine, Byron, Shakespeare, Karel Hynek Mácha, and Václav Bolemr Nebesk were his favorite writers at the time.
After graduating, he attempted to study law, but he failed. He worked as a clerk for a brief period, but was dissatisfied, so he decided to study philosophy and philology at Charles University. He worked as a teacher until 1860, when he became a freelance journalist and writer.
He began his career on the Národn list (National Sheets). He worked for Obrazy – Vivota (Pictures of Life) and as later on (Time). He has also worked on Kvty (Blossoms) and Lumr.
He became the de facto leader of a generation of writers, including Karolina Svtlá, Vátzslav Hálek, Adolf Heyduk, and Karel Sabina; devoted to passing on Karel Hynek Mácha's legacy. They appeared in the literary Máj, where they published their works.
By 1871, several organizations had dubbed Neruda as a "Traitor to the Country," so he decided to spend some time away; visiting Italy, Greece, France, Germany, Hungary, and Egypt. He maintained extensive records of his travels, which include an entertaining insight into his life and times, as well as several others that show him to be a good observer.
He lived on Vladislavova Street, 1382/14 in Nové Msto, Prague, from 1883 to his death.
Personal life
Neruda, a loner and an introvert, was a fan of composer Bednich Smetana.
Neruda never married, but he had close friendships with Anna Holinová and Karolna Svna Sv'tlá.
Holinová was his first passion. Many of his poems were meant for her. Neruda was able to meet Boena Nmcová and Karel Jaromo Erben, two Czech nationalist writers, through her mother.
Svtlá, a married woman who was also a writer, was his second love. Through their writings, they enriched each other physically. He was also helping him financially. She sold a precious brooch and loaned him the money when he was deeply in debt. Petr Muçk, her husband's wife, was notified of it but they had to end the friendship, but she was compelled to leave her husband. He then had to give him all of the letters they had written to each other. These letters became the inspiration for the film Pách a cti (The Story of Love and Honor). Although the poet was a prolific and respected journalist, he was in need of material throughout his lifetime. For example, he wrote a column for the National Papers, served as a theater officer and literary analyst, and edited several popular science journals.
He had a close relationship with his mother. His death in 1869 greatly affected him and brought a sadder tone to his works.
Career
In his work, Neruda supported the Czech National Revival and promoted Czech nationalism. He participated in all the central cultural and political struggles of his generation, and gained a reputation as a sensitive critic. Neruda became, along with Vítězslav Hálek, one of the most prominent representatives of the new literary trends.
