García Márquez's Leaf Storm in Comparison with One Hundred Years of Solitude
Trčková, Helena ; Housková, Anna (advisor) ; Poláková, Dora (referee)
(in English) The topic of this thesis is the early novel of the Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez called Leaf Storm (La Hojarasca). To provide a comparison with another book, this work also deals in brief with the author's most known novel One Hundred Years of Solitude (Cien años de soledad). The Leaf Storm is considered by the author himself as a direct predecessor of One Hundred Years of Solitude, however, they are two very different books. On the next pages I will dedicate my attention to the several aspects of the novel Leaf Storm. Specifically, I will focus on the composition, Macondo, the violence in the story, the significance of "storm" in the name of the book, the atmosphere, the novel as a modern version of an ancient tragedy, the mystery and the absurdity, the concept of the time and at last, the theme of solitude. Both novels take place in Macondo and describe similar historical events, yet they are very different concerning their composition - meanwhile One Hundred Years of Solitude is from this point of view much more traditional, Leaf Storm is considered more experimental. One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the major works belonging to the magic realism, whereas Leaf Storm is a rather realistic book.

Literary shape of conception of existence in production of F. M. Dostojevsky and A. Camus
Žabová, Iveta ; Blažková, Miloslava (advisor) ; Hogenová, Anna (referee)
In its complexity, human existence cannot be systematised and generalised into a compact concept. Existentialists are those who devoted themselves to Human individuality and phenomena fundamentally related, such as life, death, freedom, absurdity etc. However, considering the specifics of the philosophy of existentialism, it is not possible to only consider philosophers as the only bearers of this intellectual approach, but it is necessary to include certain individuals of world literature in this movement. The concept of human existence has transformed itself in various ways in their philosophy and works. Once it was dominated by the existence of God, to whom it was necessary to set one's mind on, at other times it was thrown into the bleakness and futility of a world without hope. However, the central topic was the same in each of them, the subject that is closest to us people, however, the subject that will always be the great unknown, regardless of the genial thoughts of Sören Kierkegaard, Martin Heidegger, Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevsky and Albert Camus - the topic of mankind and its place in the world.

New Forms of Fairy Tales and the Elements of Nonsense in Several Works of Anglo-American Children´s Literature
KERESZTESOVÁ, Nikola
This thesis deals with the analysis of selected modern fairy tales (R. Dahl, J. Scieszka, T. Jones), while the main attention will be focused on the transformation of traditional structures (Propp) and the penetration of nonsense elements into the fairy tale genre. The theoretical introduction will outline the basic features and functions of traditional fairy tales (Propp, Tolkien) and it will also consider the beginnings of nonsense literature for children. The change of the form and the content as a distinctive feature of the modern and postmodern fairy tales is a crucial part of the thesis, which pays attention to the interpretation of the particular selected texts.
