Šimková, Petra ; Flemrová, Alice (advisor) ; Přívozníková, Pavla (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to search for the existential features in the work of Italian novelist Alberto Moravia and to map their development. We focused on four novels which represent individual periods of author's work and we tried to describe existential features in the life stories of the main characters. At first we focused on the definition of existentialism and we defined its basic features. After that we mapped the development of existential features in Italian literature through the character for which we used personal designation "inetto" and we get to the work of Alberto Moravia. In the individual novels we focused on the main character as well as literally- historical context, the narrator and the impact of author's life on his work. In conclusion of the thesis, we devoted our attention on Czech translations of Moravia's novels and we tried to define the awareness of this novelist in the Czech Republic. By the performed analysis of the novels we proved that existential features appear through the whole work of the author and that they undergo some development marked by the biography of the author. Based on our research we can say that Alberto Moravia is rightly called the author of the novels with existential features.

Grazia Deledda's sardinian novels
Sklenářová, Simona ; Pelán, Jiří (advisor) ; Flemrová, Alice (referee)
This thesis aims to introduce the Italian writer Grazia Deledda and analyze her three Sardinian novels: La via del male (The way of evil), Elias Portolu (Elias Portolu) and Canne al vento (Reeds in the Wind). At the beginning, I briefly summarize the sociographic situation of the island of Sardinia in the middle of the 19th century as it had considerable influence on the author and her writings. I also include the bio-bibliographical section, which chronologically portrays Deledda's personal life and her literary works. The central themes of her works are passion, sin and their subsequent atonement. The protagonists suffer especially in the depths of their hearts and dialogue and struggle with their conscience. Lyrical descriptions of the land are also a distinguishing feature of Deledda's writing, together with portrayal of local traditions and customs with the occasional inserted text with Sardinian words, specifically the writer's Nuoro dialect. Finally, I try to compare all three works and attempt to locate their constant and variable features and gain insight into the female characters within Sardinian communities. In the appendix, I review the reception of Deledda in the Czech speaking lands and include a brief history of the island and Deledda's personal photos.
