Conception of budhism in Spalovač mrtvol in the novel and in the film adaptation
Plašil, Šimon ; Mocná, Dagmar (advisor) ; Peterka, Josef (referee)
The aim of the Bachelorʾs thesis is to find and to interpret the Buddhist elements in the literary work Spalovač mrtvol of the author Ladislav Fuks. I work primarily with the novel, but I confront and compare it with the film adaptation. I interpret primarily the philosophy of the main character of Karel Koprfkingl whose opinions, attitudes and behavior I am comparing with Buddhist teachings, especially the Tibetan variant. Furthermore I prove a possible motivation for the use Buddhist elements. I refer to the life perspectiv of author and to the historical context of the time. Also I put the Spalovač mrtvol into the context of Czech literary works with Buddhist themes. In my bachelorʾs thesis I present all founded relations between the novel and the Buddhism, but I work primarily with the relations, which can be demonstrated as the author's intention. I interpret the symbolic elements in the novel and I prove their functional significance in the story. Key word Ladislav Fuks, buddhism, philosophy, Kopfrkingl, Tibet, symbol of characters, salvation, order, transformation, death
