Jindřich Šimon Baar Audio file "Jindrich simon baar.ogg" not found (February 7, 1869, Klenčí pod Čerchovem – October 24, 1925, Klenčí pod Čerchovem) was a Czech Catholic priest and writer, realist, author of the so-called country prose. He joined the Czech Catholic modern style, but later severed the ties with that movement.[1] As writer, he emphasized traditional moral values of the countryside.
Born into a peasant family, he did religious studies and was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1892. As a priest, he strived, unsuccessfully, for reforms in the church.
