The problems of Julius Zeyer and his inspiration by French culture
Riedlbauchová, Tereza ; Pelán, Jiří (advisor) ; Pechar, Jiří (referee) ; Bednaříková, Hana (referee)
Julius Zeyer and His Inspiration by French Culture is a large subject that includes several topics: Zeyer's personal contacts with French personages, inspiration by French culture in general; by art, literature, philosophy, but also by French lifestyle and mentality. In this thesis the topic is narrowed down to Zeyer's journeys to France and his contacts with local personages as well as to his reading of French literature (Chapter 1) and French literary inspiration of some of his works (Chapter 1 and Chapter 2). We are interested especially in the type and the degree of influence by French sources we can find in his work. Chapter 1 is conceived as a literary-historical introduction - Francie jako zdroj inspirace (France as a source of inspiration) - concerns his one-year stay in Paris between 1889-1890 and the journeys to Brittany and Picardy in the same year.The source of information on this topic is Zeyer's correspondence with Zdenka Braunerová, Marie Kalašová, Josef Václav Sládek, the Heriteses etc., where he mentions different aspects of life in France as well as his impressions and experiences. He doesn't talk much about his acquaintances with French personages. That's why we are trying to complete this information from literature about Zdenka Braunerová. She mediated most of Zeyer's Parisian contacts....

Klípová, Barbora ; Flemrová, Alice (referee) ; Pelán, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis is an attempt to present complex portrait of Giani Stuparich. I focused both on his life - ethnic origin, political orientation, attitudes towards the ethnic issue of the Austro - Hungarian empire and the aftermaths of war experience (isolation, moralization) - and on his work. His work and life are inseparable aspects of each other.

La Voce magazine and Italian modernism
Polišenská, Vladimíra ; Flemrová, Alice (referee) ; Pelán, Jiří (advisor)
The aim of this work is to demonstrate how the life of Italian society at the beginning of the twentieth century was reflected in La Voce magazine, which was published from 1908-1916 in Florence. The attention will be focused not only on the historical events but especially on the way it reflected on Italian modernism. For better understanding of the magazine and its value this work begins by explaining the international historical, social and cultural context in which La Voce arose. It examines the programme statement of the magazine and its changes during the existence of La Voce. The main part is dedicated to the analysis of the thematic areas treated in articles. It considers in detail modern trends of Italian art in literature, visual arts and music. Special attention is dedicated to the relationship between representatives of La Voce and the futurist movement. The second group of themes, appearing often in the magazine and examined in this work, is deals with Italian society and politics including political movements; the problem of the Italian South; education and organization of secondary schools, high schools and universities; the colonial war in Libya; and the First World War. This analysis ends with topics such as in particular, philosophy; moral matters, including sexuality and prostitution;...

Crossing the boundaries. Selected themes from the work of Fulvio Tomizza
Kosová, Karolína ; Flemrová, Alice (referee) ; Pelán, Jiří (advisor)
There are "outer" and "inner" boundaries. These are constantly tempted and crossed by people. Boundaries exist on maps as borderlines protected by heavy barriers or as small stonewalls that separate neighbors' fields in the countryside. There are boundaries between the sea and the mainland, the village and the city, between two nations. Fulvio Tomizza, whose work is analyzed in this study, lived with these boundaries. He has been coming to terms with the outer boundaries his whole life in his work Incomprehensible Boundaries. He wrote of the boarder line between the "free world of Italy", where he had in fact never reached his inner freedom and between Istria that since 1954 belonged to the "unfree part of the world". He was well familiar with the boundaries between Italian and Slavic population from the Istria area, since the worlds of these two ethnic groups were clashing inside him. He had therefore dedicated his written work to undo these boundaries that caused separation and rather conjugated them and created space for meeting of cultures and everyday life influences. And so the inner boundaries, he has mediated to us in his writings became "points of connection" between the past and present, reality and dream, life and death. He himself presents a great example for "crossing of boundaries"; his...

Michele Prisco's narrative writings in the context of the Italian literature of the second half of the twentieth century
Zdeňková, Petra ; Pelán, Jiří (advisor) ; Flemrová, Alice (referee)
Michele Prisco. Michele Prisco's narrative writings in the context of the Italian literature of the second half of the twentieth century Our thesis was dedicated to the the Italian writer Michele Prisco (1920 - 2003). On the basis of the detailed analysis of some of author's novels and stories we tried to place his narrative literature into the context of Italian literature of the second half of the twentieth century. Michele Prisco, a writer, journalist, literary and film critic entered literature with a story collection. La provincia addormentata (Sleepy province) in 1949. During exactly fifty-year long writer's career he published eleven novels and a number of narrative collections. He was introduced to the Czech scene by translations of his novels Gli eredi del vento (1950, Czech translation - Dědicové větru, Heirs of the Wind, J. Hajný 1983) and Una spirale di nebbia (1966, Czech translation - Cár mlhy, A Spiral of Mist, J. Hajný 1984). Prisco's narrative literature gives a compact impression even though it came through a certain development in the thematic and above all compositional plan. The background of nearly all Prisco's stories and novels is his native land in the area of Vesuvius or Naples. The author is not concerned only with the description of the region and its inhabitants but mainly with...

Venice as an allegory of modern man. Paolo Barbaro's literary writings
Slavíková, Kateřina ; Pelán, Jiří (advisor) ; Flemrová, Alice (referee)
Stěžejním dílem, jemuž se hodlám věnovat ve své diplomové práci, bude kniha Venezia, la citt ritrovata spisovatele Paola Barbara. Toto Barbarovo dílo jsem si vybrala proto, že mě zajímá aktuální pohled na jedinečný fenomén Benátek. Právě tuto knihu pokládám za současný nejplastičtěji vykreslený literárněfilozofický obraz tohoto města1 a její poetická výstavba mě inspirovala k vytyčení hlavního cíle mé práce, jímž bude literárně-sémiologický rozbor tohoto díla směřující k zachycení benátského prostoru jakožto zrcadla duše moderního člověka. V zájmu celistvosti pohledu na Paola Barbara a jeho tvorbu budu však dále okrajově sledovat též ostatní Barbarova díla tematicky zaměřená na život v benátské laguně (Lunario veneziano, Venezia, l'anno del mare felice, Ultime isole, L'impresa senza fine). Ve snaze postihnout Barbarův obecný náhled na lidskou existenci i jeho literární styl využiji též jeho prvotiny (Giornale dei lavori) a jednoho z nejvíce ceněných románů - Diario a due.

The patology of caracters in the Italian novel of the 20th century
Bílková, Jana ; Flemrová, Alice (advisor) ; Pelán, Jiří (referee)
This graduation thesis deals with the patology of characters in the italian novels of the 20th century. The material basis is presented by four following authors: Italo Svevo (1861 - 1928), Dino Buzzati (1906 - 1972), Primo Levi (1919 - 1987) and Carlo Emilio Gadda (1893 - 1973). The attention concentrates on one novel by each of these authors (in the case of Svevo there are all his three finished novels taken into account) whose protagonist can be considered as the bearer of a certain psychopatology: Zeno Cosini from the novel La coscienza di Zeno for the neurosis, Giovanni Drogo from /I Deserto dei Tartari for the anxiety, Primo Levi as a representative of the war trauma in his opera Se questo é un uomo and Gonzalo Pirobutirro from the novel La cognizione del dolore for the depression. The selection of the authors and the novels came from the personal reading experience of the authoress of the thesis and from the conviction of their representativness for the given type of pathology although it is mostly quite complex. Each part deals with the protagonist of the chosen novel and of the fictional world which surrounds him and eventually takes into consideration the context of other works of the same author. In the selected novels, the attention is also given manifestations and the individual image of the...

Antirisorgimento in the works of F. De Roberto, L. Pirandello and G. Tomasi di Lampedusca
Graeberová, Michaela ; Pelán, Jiří (referee) ; Flemrová, Alice (advisor)
This thesis looks at the ltalian antirisorgimento by way of examining three important Sicilian novels: Viceroy (1 viceré) by Federico De Roberto from 1894, The otd and the Young (1 vecchi e i giovani) by Luigi Pirandello published in 1913 and The Leopard (ll gattopardo) by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa from 1958. In the initial chapter, historical and political development of risorgimental and postrisorgimental Italy is outlined, from the 1848 revolutions until the end of the 19th century. The situation in the southem part of the country is emphasized in particular, as the change of regime in 1861 and the unification ofItaly did not bring many positive aspects there. Next chapter discusses the relation of our three authors to the period in which they were composing. We were interested in the ways the epoch influenced them and how their personal experience was reflected in the analyzed texts. Further works by the writers, if relevant to the antirisorgimento, are mentioned too. The main part of the thesis represents an analysis of motifs and topics the novels have in common and how these reflect the antirisorgimento. lt also takes into account a shift in perspectives of individual authors - there is a gap of more than sixty years between the publication of the first and the third novel. We also looked at the...
