TI - Egon Erwin Kisch is on top again. Introduction to considerations on postmodern reportage
AB - 
	In the submitted article, the descriptive-historical method was used. The aim of the article is to recognize Erwin Egon Kisch as a precursor of postmodern ideas in reportage. Years after his journalistic debut (1906), Kisch was the first not to officially hide the fact that he introduced fiction to the genre he cultivated and in his book “The Sensational Fair” (1942) he admitted it. To achieve success, Kisch used sensational reporting in order to attract the viewer’s attention. It is also a very popular way of dicussing the reality by modern gonzo-style reporters. Kisch wrote with verve and fantasy. He showed the world of social lowlands, their less friendly side. This article is the first attempt in the literature on Egon Erwin Kisch to point to the gonzo-style of reporting.
