The part about Baudolino describes the historical forgery - The Realm of Prester John and The Grail Legend, which we can find in fiction books these days. The last studied novel, Eco's latest, The Prague Cemetery involves antisemitism and concerns the creation of an irrational xenophobic document,which entered history under the name of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The part of the thesis about thisnovel also concerns theoretical thoughts about a creation of an enemy, which Eco described in his book Inventing The Enemy. The conclusion of this thesis summarizes results of the search for the forgery in the selected novels and the way Eco uses historical forgeries in his fiction works.

NOVOTNÁ, Renata
