Jedlík, Evelin ; Kolmanová, Simona (advisor) ; Mészáros, Andor (referee)
The presented thesis compares Czech and Hungarian annual customs. The work focuses on those annual holidays that still have a great influence on the culture of both countries. Both Czech and Hungarian traditions have changed and transformed over the years, and that is one of the reasons why individual customs and traditions are different in the given territorial regions. The thesis provides an insight into these customs, while pointing out the specifics of the given annual holidays in Hungary and the Czech Republic. In the case of Hungarian customs, the work is concentrated on the territory of Hungary, which in some cases is extended by the territory of neighboring states inhabited by the Hungarian population.

Boháč, Jakub ; Kolmanová, Simona (advisor) ; Schreierová, Angelika (referee)
The objective ofthis thesis is to define the prevailing method oftranslating Hungarian fiction into Czech between 1945 and 2006. The theoretical part of the thesis is based on the thinking of leading translation theorists, mainly Jiří Levý, and other Czech, Slovak and intemational theoreticians whose approach to translation methods is not prescriptive. In the first part of the thesis, we give an overview of translation methods. In the second part, we offer an explanation of how we conducted our research into the actual translation method in the given period, and pro vide a description of the results obtained on a sample of 40 translations. With regard to the research methods, we discuss the prevailing method of translating the prose, poetry and drama separately. First, we exemplifY the results on individual aspects of translated texts, then summarize them and offer an extensive insight into the method of translating the particular genres of literature. With the translation method being a need for compromise, the thesis is an attempt to give a comprehensive view of translating fiction and to identifY the most frequently repeated solutions to translation problems.

The depiction of the gentry in the novels of Zsigmond Móricz
Svobodová, Andrea ; Kolmanová, Simona (advisor) ; Schreierová, Angelika (referee)
In my dissertation I focus on the novels of Zsigmond Móricz that depict a certain social phenomenon known as the gentry. I concentrate on how Zsigmond Móricz portrays the gentry and the members of that class, the heroes of his novels, in the period of crisis of the Dual Monarchy and in the years between the two world wars. I was interested in discovering the view the author takes of the historical context and the reasons for the demise of this social class and associated phenomena, and his view of the gentry's potential for transformation. To obtain an understanding of the topic and the question I am looking at, I first focus on explaining the concept of the gentry and then go on to outline the historical and social context of the period under analysis and the literary context in which Móricz's novels on the gentry emerged. The central part of the study comprises analyses of four of his novels: Kivilágos kivirradtig (Until the Morning Light), Úri muri (The Pleasures of the Gentry), Forró mezők (Incandescent Fields) and Rokonok (Relatives). All four novels were written in the interwar years (1924-1932), the period on which I have chosen to focus in my dissertation. The novels I examine are ones that Hungarian literary history describes as social novels or novels about the gentry, or in other words, novels...

Radoňová, Lucie ; Kolmanová, Simona (advisor) ; Grendel, Lajos (referee)
This thesis explores the main important possibilities of interpretations of the Mihaly Babits's novel "A Gólyakalifa". I was interested in discovering the view the author takes and the main influences that affect him during the creation of this novel. The central part of the study comprises analyse of the novel "A Gólyakalifa". Than I am trying to explain the composition of the task. Considering the questions of the setout of time and place, the shape of dispatching, the structure of the text. In the next part I am trying to confront the novel with one task from the Hungarian and one task from the world's literature. I have chosen to focus in my dissertation Oscar Wilde's book called The picture of Dorian Gray and Kosztolányi Dezs's novel Esti Kornél. In both of mentioned novels we can find a resemblance with Kalif's world, based on using the alter ego's world. An alter ego is a second self, a second personality or persona within a person, who is often oblivious to the persona's actions. It was coined in the early nineteenth century when dissociative identity disorder was first described by psychologists. A person with an alter ego is said to lead a double life. It is more than evident that Mihaly Babits was impressed with Sigmund Freud's new theory about dream interpretations. So that is why I am including...

Hungarian shamanism and its elements in Hungarian folk tales
Adamovský, Vít ; Kolmanová, Simona (advisor) ; Mészáros, Andor (referee)
The presented bachelor thesis maps the phenomenon of Hungarian shamanism and then analyzes its elements in Hungarian folk tales. According to ethnographers of the 19th and 20th centuries, the ancient tradition of shamanism reached the territory of the former Hungary from the Siberian region, where the Hungarian ethnic group comes from. The central figure of the reconstructed Hungarian shamanism is considered to be the táltos, who, following the example of Siberian shamans, was to play the role of a healer, seer, spiritual leader, and a mediator between the human world, heaven, and the underworld in the society of that time. However, this concept is criticized by contemporary ethnographers, and the presence of a relic of Siberian shamanism in Europe is questioned. Nevertheless, these ideas occupy a firm place in Hungarian culture and mythology. The first chapter thematizes Siberian shamanism, which, unlike the Hungarian one, is documented in detail. The second part of my research describes a journey of the Hungarian ethnic group from the Finno-Ugric homeland, which is followed by a chapter devoted to problematic Hungarian shamanism of which fragments have been preserved in the folk culture, more precisely oral folk literature. The practical part of this bachelor thesis is based on the...
