After his return home, he tried to design two volumes of poetry that described the war and the occupation and were still burdened with excessive will to interpret and excessive symbolism . After he had published two further collections of poems of a similar character in 1945, he freed himself from the peculiarity of the false "occupation poetry" and wrote the novel "Dusk Blue Years". In 1951 Pavel Bojar published two new volumes of poetry with progressive subjects and the first part of a trilogy of novels that deal with the transformation of the Czech village between 1945 and 1952.
In the novel Twilight Years , Bojar draws an impressive realistic picture of the youth of a working-class boy based on his own childhood memories becomes an active and fighting member of society.
