Jindřich Šimon Baar
Jindřich Šimon Baar, Heinrich Simon Baar, pseudonym January Psohlavý ( born February 7, 1869 in Klentsch, † October 24, 1925 ) was a Czech Catholic priest and writer. He is regarded as representative of realism in the country prose.
Life
Baar visited 1880-1888 high school in Domažlice. After leaving school he entered a seminary in Prague and was ordained a priest in 1892. He seemed in some places as a clergyman and tried in this function to the reform of the Church, first as chaplain from 1892 to 1894 in Přimda, then to 1895 in Spálené Poříčí, then in Stochov, Únětice, then in 1895 to 1897 in Ořech.
From 1899 to 1909 he worked in Klobuky in Slany, had built a new parsonage. He then returned as pastor from 1909 to 1919 after Ořech.
1919 Jindřich Šimon Baar was retired and returned to his birthplace. His depictions of life in the villages had particularly among people living in USA Czechs success.
