The subject of the article entitled ‘‘Portrait of the end of an epoch in Ladislav Fuks’ novel Vévodkyně a kuchařka” is the reflection on the last work of the novelist published in 1983. Apart from old age, which is the conference key matter and is considered mainly on the level of literary character (in this case such strategy may be related to arepresentative of an aristocracy prince Leuchtenberg-Aulendorf), the author dedicates majority of attention to metaphorical understanding of this issue. For old age can refer to the decline of the ‘long’ 19th century, and the argumentation for such biological consideration of historic time is provided in the views of an American historian Hayden White. That is why, the motif of intended museum of the declining epoch is broadly analysed as well as the sensed decay of Hapsburg monarchy, which simultaneously is accompanied by allusions to the fall of Roman Empire in the play written by Sophia La Tâllière d’Hayguères-Kevelsberg — the work’s main character.
