[eng][cze] This thesis deals with the Troubles, i.e., the Civil War in Northern Ireland (1968-1998) and its representation in the novels of Bernard MacLaverty and Brian Moore. The analysis focuses on the role of the individual and how a single person could be influenced by the chain of events one is not responsible for, but has to somehow deal with them. The emphasis is put on the absurdity that sectarian violence creates and how it tears apart the already divided island.Tato práce se zabývá problematikou "Troubles" neboli občanské války v Severním Irsku (1968-1998) a její interpretací v románech Bernarda MacLavertyho a Briana Moora. Analýza se zaměřuje na roli jedince a na to, jak může být jedinec ovlivněn souhrnem událostí, za které není zodpovědný, ale musí se s nimi nějakým způsobem vyrovnat. Důraz je kladen na absurdity, kterou sektářské násilí vytváří a na to, jak ještě více rozděluje již tak rozdělený ostrov.
