Emigration motif in Pnin and other novels by Vladimír Nabokov
Dubiaga, Daria ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Grmela, Josef (referee)
This bachelor's thesis explores the theme of emigration in Vladimir Nabokov's fiction, primarily through the analysis of one of his English-written novels Pnin. Many works by Nabokov display autobiographical features, which is why a large part of this work provides Nabokov's biography with an emphasis on its possible influence on his career. In the theoretical part of the thesis the biography of Vladimir Nabokov and the typical features of his work are introduced with a preceding short overview of the term emigration and the characterization of the first Russian wave of emigration. The practical part of the thesis provides a deeper analysis of the novel Pnin through the prism of emigration motif and its sub-themes which are realized in Nabokov's work. The last part of the thesis is a brief conclusion about how Nabokov created an image of the Russian emigrant.

Translation of several chapters of the biography Rebecca's Revival: Creating Black Christianity in the Atlantic World by Jon F. Sensbach
Hučíková, Jana ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Grmela, Josef (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the translation of the prologue and the first two chapters of the biography Rebecca's Revival written by Jon F. Sensbach, a professor of history at the University of Florida and the problems which may arise during the translation. The thesis comprises two parts, one of which is the actual translation of the work and the second part consists of my analysis of the problems I encountered during the translation. Due to the literary style in which the biography is written I focused especially on the grammatical interferences between Czech and English. As a support for my analysis I used the works dealing with translation theories written by Zlata Kufnerová, Dagmar Knittlová and Jiří Levý and the grammar book written by Libuše Dušková.
