A Congregation of Jackals: The Translation and Stylistic Analysis of Two Chapters of the Novel
Varga, Jan ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Lancová, Klára (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the translation of selected parts of a novel from English language into Czech Language. Three chapters from the novel A Congregation of Jackals, written by American author Steven Craig Zahler, were selected deliberately for the purpose of the translation with an eye on their artistic and linguistic properties. The first chapter was chosen from the very beginning of the novel, the other ones come from its first half. The practical part of the thesis consists of the translation itself. This is previewed by a brief introductory chapter that takes a cursory glance at the basic principles of translation theory. The analytical part examines the theoretical grounding of the translating process and identifies some specific issues which were encountered during the translation. In doing so, it seeks to substantiate the practical solutions in the practical part with the reference to theoretical sources that had been consulted either prior to or throughout the translation process.

Varga, Jan ; Higgins, Bernadette (advisor) ; Ženíšek, Jakub (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to compare various film adaptations of William Shakespeare's Hamlet and to comment on the different style of their adaptation of the original play. A brief description of this Shakespeare masterpiece and of related films and their style followed by a depiction of particular characters and how the movies interpret them will lead to the comparison of the movies within individual motifs. Four film adaptations will be compared: the black-and-white version by Laurence Olivier (1948), Franco Zeffirelli's Hamlet starring Mel Gibson (1990), the four-hour Hamlet directed by Kenneth Branagh (1996) and modern version directed by Michael Almereyda (2000).
