Character of pilot in the writings by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
 ŠIMONOVÁ, Kristýna
This thesis focuses on the research of the pilot´s character in chosen writings by the French author. While we can divide his writings into both historical and cultural context there is also an analysis of the pilot´s characterization together with the main themes contained in the writings. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who was an aviator and script writer but primarily an author, has come under the scrutiny of many biographers and movie adaptations so that Saint-Exupérys' legacy remains alive. The Little Prince is probably the writers' most famous work and although his others writings are comparable with The Little Prince, these have been overshadowed by the work. A lot of attention has been paid to Saint-Exupéry´s conception of morality, fear and death which are topics united into the pilot´s character and so it is interesting to mark out the main typical features. This thesis analyses and compares individual writing and identifies the common features which creates a simplified model of the pilot. If possible, the model will be compared with the author and we will mark his function in the tale together with his influence on readers.

Little Prince by Saint Exupery as moral appeal and hope.
 ZÁVOROVÁ, Marta
In my diploma thesis titled Saint-Exupéry´s Little Prince as a moral challenge and hope I deal with ethical issues and moral principles which are losing their meaning and perhaps also an importance for many fellow citizens in today´s hectic time. A morality of a person depends on morals throughout the society to which an individual belongs. A penetration of philosophical themes about the meaning of life in the Little Prince helps a reader to orient himself and to think about the life itself. In the theoretical part of my thesis I deal with a biography of A. de Saint-Exupéry and an analysis of the work of the Little Prince. Other chapters are devoted to a theoretical introduction of the concepts of ethics and morality. In a subsequent chapter there is dealt with an individual´s moral development according to Piaget and Kohlberg. In the practical part of the diploma thesis I set a goal of the thesis and hypotheses. The goal of the thesis is to characterize a possibility how to use Saint Exupéry´s work as a mean how to educate our young generation directly through its own reading or via their reading parents. It is one of the aspects of a current need to educate the children and youth in ethics and to get it back with a due attention to our primary and secondary schools. The research sample was composed of students from the multi-years´ Gymnasium in Vimperk and Strakonice aged 11 to 19 years. To obtain data for the investigation I chose a method of an own questionnaire, designed to meet research needs. The survey was anonymous. After an evaluation, I summarized the obtained data into tables and graphs. In the discussion I analysed and evaluated the results for individual questions. In a conclusion of the thesis the stated hypotheses were confirmed.
