Abstract: [eng] [cze]
After an overview of the literature written in the Irish language, this thesis analyzes the English translation of the memoir An t-Oileánach (The Islandman) by Tomas O'Crohan with the interest in the pattern set by the author in describing the rural Irish life. Then the English translation of the comic novel An Béal Bocht (The Poor Mouth) by Flann O'Brien is investigated for intertextual references to O'Crohan's memoir as well as the elements of satire in the novel. The work of the author of the illustrations from The Poor Mouth, Ralph Steadman, is briefly described. The last chapter gives an overview of how fictional depiction of the Irish country people evolved during the 20th century. Po přehledu irsky psané literatury se tato práce zabývá anglickým překladem autobiografie An t-Oileánach (The Islandman) Tomase O'Crohana se zájmem o popis venkovského života v Irsku. Poté je zkoumán anglický překlad humoristické novely An Béal Bocht (The Poor Mouth) Flanna O'Briena se zájmem o odkazy na O'Crohanovu autobiografii a prvky satiry. Krátce je zde popsána i tvorba Ralpha Steadmana, autora ilustrací v The Poor Mouth. Poslední kapitola podává přehled o tom, jak se během 20. století vyvinulo fiktivní vyobrazení venkovských Irů v literatuře.
