Historia
Vladimír Körner (Prostějov, Checoslovaquia, 12 de octubre de 1939) es un novelista, dramaturgo y guionista checo.
Vladimír Körner pasó su niñez en Uhřičice u Kojetína y, tras morir su padre en 1945, vivió en Zábřeh na Moravě con su madre. Se graduó en la Escuela Industrial de Cine de Čimelice y posteriormente (1963) estudió arte dramático en la Escuela de Cine y Televisión de la Academia de Artes Escénicas (FAMU) de Praga.
Trabajó en los Estudios Barrandov, primero como editor de guiones y luego como guionista, actividad a la que se dedicó entre 1970 y 1991, habiendo escrito numerosos guiones tanto para el cine como para la televisión. A partir de 1991 ha consagrado su tiempo fundamentalmente a la literatura. Es académico de la DAMU (Teatro de la Facultad de la Academia de las Artes en Praga).
Körner debutó en la literatura con la novela corta Střepiny v trávě (1964), donde analiza las mentes deformadas —tanto de niños como de adultos— en los años de la posguerra. Su posterior Slepé rameno (1965) se centra en las actividades de la resistencia durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Adelheid, obra de 1967, fue muy bien recibida por la crítica; se ha considerado que representa de forma emblemática el «paisaje después de la batalla» en cuanto a las almas humanas, en este caso las de los checos «victoriosos» frente a las de los «derrotados» alemanes. El carácter existencialista es muy significativo en una de sus trabajos más conocidos, Písečná kosa (1970), en donde el autor aborda los dilemas morales y, en un sentido más amplio, el significado de la existencia.
Otras obras relevantes de Körner son Údolí včel (1975) y Lékař umírajícího času (1984), novela histórica sobre Jan Jesenius y su destino tras la Guerra de los Treinta Años. En Anděl milosrdenství (1988, llevada al cine en 1993), el autor realiza una profunda descripción de la vida de la gente durante el transcurso de la Primera Guerra Mundial, mientras que la novela corta Život za podpis (1989) está enmarcada en el contexto de la Guerra austro-prusiana.
