Celebrations of Hungarian Millennium in 1896
Šťovíčková, Anna ; Kolmanová, Simona (advisor) ; Kiss, Csaba Gy. (referee)
In the year 1896 Hungary celebrated the 1000th anniversary of the Magyar settlement in the Carpathian Basin. The preparations started in the early 80's of 19th century. Originally they planned to celebrate in 1895, since it was decided that the conquest had happened in 895. But there was not enough time to prepare, so they postponed the festivities. Even though there was widespread development in industry and culture at the end of 19th century, the situation in Hungary was very complicated. The main problem was the relationship of Hungarians within the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, changes in that society, and the situation of national minorities and the working-class. During the celebrations of the millennial anniversary, these discussed topics were overlooked while everybody was occupied with the festivities. Hungarians tried to present their glorious past, their country's successful economy, industry, and culture to prove that Hungary was the foremost nation in the Carpathian Basin. The Hungarian parliament passed a law to celebrate the millennium that ordered, for example, the building of monuments around Hungary and the founding of The Museum of Fine Arts and 400 elementary schools. Throughout the country there were opening ceremonies, festivities, meetings, processions, parades, and unveilings...

This thesis brings together facts about one of the first theatre ensembles, which was established after the revolution in 1989 on the Hungarian territory, about The Bárka Theatre. This theatre company still successfully operates today. Some of facts I have collected in form of register. First part of my dissertation talks about the economical, historical a practical facts in the progress of The Bárka Theatre. In the second part I divulge more about some of their performances ,(Nehéz - Hard, Mulatság - Fun, Széntivánéji álom - Midsummer Night's Dream), and about some names, associated with the projects of this group. I have chosen this topic because the Hungarian cultural scene is very interesting and has a rich history but, due to languague barrier, can be very difficult for foreigners to appreciate and understand.

Boháč, Jakub ; Schreierová, Angelika (referee) ; Kolmanová, Simona (advisor)
The objective ofthis thesis is to define the prevailing method oftranslating Hungarian fiction into Czech between 1945 and 2006. The theoretical part of the thesis is based on the thinking of leading translation theorists, mainly Jiří Levý, and other Czech, Slovak and intemational theoreticians whose approach to translation methods is not prescriptive. In the first part of the thesis, we give an overview of translation methods. In the second part, we offer an explanation of how we conducted our research into the actual translation method in the given period, and pro vide a description of the results obtained on a sample of 40 translations. With regard to the research methods, we discuss the prevailing method of translating the prose, poetry and drama separately. First, we exemplifY the results on individual aspects of translated texts, then summarize them and offer an extensive insight into the method of translating the particular genres of literature. With the translation method being a need for compromise, the thesis is an attempt to give a comprehensive view of translating fiction and to identifY the most frequently repeated solutions to translation problems.

Balladic features in prosaic work of Hungarian author István Petelei
Okrouhlá, Ana ; Tóth, István (referee) ; Kolmanová, Simona (advisor)
The present work concerns a certain area of the oeuvre of the multifaceted Hungarian writer István PETELEI. Specifically, these works are the balladic novellas that represent the preeminent genre throughout the author's career. Petelei is himself something of an unjustly neglected figure within Hungary, and is entirely unknown in Czech. Consequently, the present survey has set itself the goal of recalling the author within his native Hungary and simultaneously presenting him to the Czech reader as a figure worthy of attention. Petelei's balladic novellas were selected as a result of the present writer's conviction that not only do they offer a trenchant depiction of society at the time, but moreover on their own merits form a significant literary heritage. PETELEI lived and worked at the turn of the 19th and the 20th centuries, a historical context likewise manifested within his work. Furthermore, the immediate background is the reason why attention has been paid in the present work to the writer's relatively unusual origins, as well as the course of his life. The genre of the balladic novella has been found to be particularly useful, as indeed both the ballad and the novella have been and continue to be popular not only among Czech readers but indeed the Central European literary tradition as a whole....

The depiction of the gentry in the novels of Zsigmond Móricz
Svobodová, Andrea ; Kolmanová, Simona (advisor) ; Schreierová, Angelika (referee)
In my dissertation I focus on the novels of Zsigmond Móricz that depict a certain social phenomenon known as the gentry. I concentrate on how Zsigmond Móricz portrays the gentry and the members of that class, the heroes of his novels, in the period of crisis of the Dual Monarchy and in the years between the two world wars. I was interested in discovering the view the author takes of the historical context and the reasons for the demise of this social class and associated phenomena, and his view of the gentry's potential for transformation. To obtain an understanding of the topic and the question I am looking at, I first focus on explaining the concept of the gentry and then go on to outline the historical and social context of the period under analysis and the literary context in which Móricz's novels on the gentry emerged. The central part of the study comprises analyses of four of his novels: Kivilágos kivirradtig (Until the Morning Light), Úri muri (The Pleasures of the Gentry), Forró mezők (Incandescent Fields) and Rokonok (Relatives). All four novels were written in the interwar years (1924-1932), the period on which I have chosen to focus in my dissertation. The novels I examine are ones that Hungarian literary history describes as social novels or novels about the gentry, or in other words, novels...

Radoňová, Lucie ; Kolmanová, Simona (advisor) ; Grendel, Lajos (referee)
This thesis explores the main important possibilities of interpretations of the Mihaly Babits's novel "A Gólyakalifa". I was interested in discovering the view the author takes and the main influences that affect him during the creation of this novel. The central part of the study comprises analyse of the novel "A Gólyakalifa". Than I am trying to explain the composition of the task. Considering the questions of the setout of time and place, the shape of dispatching, the structure of the text. In the next part I am trying to confront the novel with one task from the Hungarian and one task from the world's literature. I have chosen to focus in my dissertation Oscar Wilde's book called The picture of Dorian Gray and Kosztolányi Dezs's novel Esti Kornél. In both of mentioned novels we can find a resemblance with Kalif's world, based on using the alter ego's world. An alter ego is a second self, a second personality or persona within a person, who is often oblivious to the persona's actions. It was coined in the early nineteenth century when dissociative identity disorder was first described by psychologists. A person with an alter ego is said to lead a double life. It is more than evident that Mihaly Babits was impressed with Sigmund Freud's new theory about dream interpretations. So that is why I am including...

The reflection of the Hungarian post-war reality in the novels of Hungarian female authors
Kúnová, Barbara ; Kolmanová, Simona (advisor) ; Chmel, Rudolf (referee)
This thesis entitled "The reflection of the Hungarian post-war reality in the novels of Hungarian female authors" presents an analysis of the post-war Hungarian female novels in the light of the depiction of the actual social reality. Three main writers of this period have been chosen for further examination: Magda Szabó (1917-2007), Anna Jókai (born 1932) and Erzsébet Galgóczi (1930-1989). This work focuses mainly on their most significant pieces. At the same time, the thesis includes a study of the previous literary era and its impact on the period in question, especially their very immediate predecessor, writer Margit Kaffka (1880-1918). In this regard, a more detailed analyses of the literary work of Magda Szabó has been provided, since she is the writer whose production most notably continues the realistic tradition. In addition, it was necessary to define the topic by temporal aspect as well, as the specific circumstances of the communist dictatorship between the years 1949-1989 had crucially influenced the whole society including culture. The final part is dedicated to the issue of female literature and problematics of such a concept. The conclusion is rather ambiguos. The feminist theories and mainly the recent gender studies represent a very strong advocacy of a separate category of female...
