Jiří Langer - The try of Monography
Vlková, Eva ; Hrabáková, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Pechová, Drahoslava (referee)
The goal of this diploma work is to introduce the life and the work of Jiří Langer - one of the most interesting Czech Jewish authors. Langer did not use only Czech to express his ideas, but also Hebrew and the German language. I introduced him as a Czech author because I am convinced that it was mostly the Prague environment that formed him. The second important influence was his experience of Hasidism. Jiří Langer entered the world of literature thanks to the study Die Erotik der Kabbala and other Judaic works - in this period under the influence of Freud. He published in Czech his master work Devět bran (Nine Gates) in 1937 - an interesting collection of Hasidic legends, which is not comparable to any other works. In 1938 he succeeded to publish Talmud. Ukázky dějiny. (The Talmud. Excerpts and History) - a Judaic publication destined for Czech clerks in Galicia. He proved his translation and poetic abilities by publishing the anthology of Hebrew poetry from the 10th to the 19th century called Zpěvy zavržených (Songs of the Rejected) in 1938. The last two books, he managed to publish, was the Hebrew poetry. The first Piyutim veShirei Yedidut appeared in Prague in 1929, the second Me'at Tzori was published after his death in Palestine in 1943. Among his friends were Franz Kafka, Max Brod and Dov Sadan....

Laws of nature and humankind in rural stories of Vítězslav Hálek
Černá, Barbora ; Stejskalová, Anna (advisor) ; Pechová, Drahoslava (referee)
The thesis deals with literary production of Vítězslav Hálek - namely his rural short stories. I have tried to observe evolution of both the writer and his work in two creative periods of his life: 1857 - 1863 and 1871 - 1874. I am focusing on comparison of the stories written in two productive stages of Vítězslav Hálek, searching for both common features and the differences. I pay special attention to images of natural scenery, their function in the storyline and the importance of nature in human life. In Halek's approach, nature is ruled by essential laws which should be abided and respected by people. Therefore the main part of my thesis is concerned with individual images of nature laws and their comparison with the laws applicable in human society. AdditionalIy, I take account of Halek's career as well as his literary production, which has been listed in the record. Hálek read well in all his life, he was considered popular and recognised author, however, some of his stories are hard to find these days. There do not even exist contemporary belles-lettres on Vítězslav Hálek. My study is based primarily on Halek's correspondence, small biographic essays and, lastly, on analysis of narrative texts. In the last chapture I derive from selected texts of secondary-school-anthologies.

"Two views of the woman" (Female characters in selected novels of Theodor Fontan and Ignát Herrmann)
Kubíčková, Martina ; Stejskalová, Anna (advisor) ; Pechová, Drahoslava (referee)
The thesis deals with female characters of selected Berlin novels by Theodor Fontane and Prague novels by Ignát Herrmann. By the way of analysis and interpretation of individual works the thesis shows the two notions of woman, her traditional roles and position in the patriarchal society of the last third of the nineteenth century. The work seeks causes of the dominance of female characters in novels. It presents their possible typology and on the basis of comparison and confrontation demonstrates their common and different features. Family relationships and relationships of couples are described as well as various attitudes to love, various motivations for marriage, causes and consequences of dysfunctional marriages. There is also analysis of the ways of artistic depiction of topics which represented social taboo, and of the creative techniques that are specific for the two writers. Another part of the work is an outline of the contemporary social atmosphere with emphasis on the prevailing convention, as well as a comparative exposition about the lives and works of the authors and an attempt to give a true picture of the particularity of their prose. The last part of the work is a substantiation of the perception of women as victims of their environment.

In my diploma thesis Beginning of Psychological Prose in Václav Řezáč's Work I go after developement psychological motives and themes in work one of the unique czech writers. I also concern for procedure, which is typical for psychological prose. In my diploma thesis I am interested only in a 1928 - 1940 period, when Řezač started writing his first short stories and lately focused on writing novels (Větrná setba 1935, Slepá ulička 1938, Černé světlo 1940).

Psychological elements occur already in Řezáč's first short stories. His novel Větrná setba (1935) deals with a protagonist, the adolescent boy, who sinks into moral decline during the First World War. Novel takés advantage of psychological themes such as Oidipus complex, conflict of thought and acts. The protagonist does not like himself. Větrná setba draws on Šrámek's novel Stříbrný vítr (1910).
