Homolková, Petra ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (advisor) ; Grauová, Šárka (referee)
The main objective of this research is to study the affinities between Brazilian writer Graciliano Ramos (1892-1953) and French philosopher and writer Albert Camus (1913-1961). More precisely, we tend to explores the reflections of camusian revolt in three Ramos' prose works: Barren Lives (1938), Anguish (1936) and São Bernardo (1933). The literary and philosophical direction of existentialism is outlined at the beginning of the thesis. Therefore, the first chapter is devoted to an explanation of Camusian existentialism and his philosophical concept of revolt, not only in his philosophical works, but also in his novels. The subsequent chapter focuses on the life and work of Graciliano Ramos. Thereafter the three aforementioned Ramos' novels are analyzed in order to uncover in them motives of existentialism solitude, anguish, revolt against society ─ all of the more or less interlinked by the problem of incommunicability.

Smejkalová, Julie ; Hříbková, Radka (advisor) ; Hlaváček, Antonín (referee)
The main aim of the Bachelor thesis "An individual on the verge of chaos in Dostoyevsky's novel The Brothers Karamazov" is to analyse an individual in search of one's identity in the chaotic world of the second half in the XIX century Russia. The good and the evil collide in the souls of the characters who feel lost in the world of sudden changes of moral certainties, various philosophical streams and influences which emerge. The introductory part of the thesis is focused on defining the contradictory period of the second half of the XIX century. Following that, the conception of chaos is defined and explored both from the perspective of the external chaos in the world as well as the internal one which in the works of Dostoyevsky manifests itself in the individual's intense suffering leading to a complete degradation of personality. The main part of the thesis concentrates on the analyses of different approaches by which the protagonists of the novel try to reach an internal harmony. The final chapter is dedicated to the youngest of the three brothers, Alexey, in whose faith and the unconditional love for his homeland and everyone around him, Dostoyevsky finds the firm ground for achieving true personal fulfilment and harmony.

Boniface, Donna ; Smetana, Vít (advisor) ; Vykoukal, Jiří (referee)
Since reunifying in 1990, Germany has been working to develop an identity that represents the people of the two former German states. At the beginning of the twenty-first century the country still faced unique challenges as it reconciles the stories of the former capitalist and communist states. First, this study investigates the role of nation-building historical narratives and how they developed in the German context. Then it looks at the introduction of the East German uprising of 1953 into the national history of unified Germany and how this event has been used to shape the narrative around the 1989 revolution. Finally, it reflects on the significance of such a comparison for the historiography of the events.

Three critical voices of post-war American literature
Malá, Kateřina ; Hanuš, Jiří (advisor) ; Calda, Miloš (referee)
The thesis deals with critical views of the post-war American society as found in three literary works: Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye and Jack Kerouac's On the Road. The thesis's aim is to introduce briefly the post-war society and then, on basis of text analysis, to provide criticism expressed by each book mentioned above. Divided into four main parts, it describes the post-war situation in the United States (political, social and cultural) and thereafter it focuses on the books itself. It provides a short biographical summary of each author's life but it mainly targets the criticism the book contains. The post-war period was significant because of the change it brought. The society of the 1950s was characterized by many "booms" that contributed to its development. The main features of this period were consumerism and materialism; these were also the principal things subjected to criticism. The question the thesis wants to answer is whether this criticism was justified or not. This objective is realized in the conclusion. Based on all facts provided by the thesis, the answer is that the criticism was justified; however, it is not so easy and it is necessary to read the whole thesis to understand all reasons that led to this conclusion and to think over...
