The aesthetics and short prose of D. H. Lawrence
Štefl, Martin ; Hilský, Martin (advisor) ; Beran, Zdeněk (referee)
The thesis presents an analysis of the selected themes of D. H. Lawrence's aesthetics and philosophy in relation to his short stories. The main focus of the presented argument is the notion of language (Chapter 2), knowledge (Chapter 3) and the Self (Chapter 4). These chapters form and constitute a coherent thematic unity of the Lawrentian "triptych". The above mentioned phenomena are demonstrated to form the foundation of Lawrence's aesthetical and philosophical thought as it is put into practice in his short fiction. The argument aims to introduce these as applied and integrated in the substance of Lawrence's shortest prose. The structure of the thesis is based on a concept in which the next chapter develops and relies on the previous one chapter, while extending and augmenting the original argument. In addition to this, all of the three notions are unified under the key concept of Lawrence's philosophy, i.e. the notion or the theory of the "idea" and "idealism". The discussion of these three phenomena is followed by a brief appendix chapter (Chapter 5). This chapter does not add any new topic, however, supplies the text and deepens the existing argument with what might be understood as a diachronic supplement and summary of an otherwise prevailingly synchronic study. Key Words: D. H. Lawrence,...

Man and Woman: Couples in Nathaniel Hawthorne's Twice-Told Tales
BUBÍKOVÁ, Ráchel
The aim of this thesis is to focus on the relationships between men and women in Nathaniel Hawthorne's Twice-Told Tales. Every couple is presented with a problem which has to be solved or an obstacle that must be overcome. The characters are in various stages of their relationships and they vary in their age, too. Therefore the thesis is divided into four main parts regarding the period the characters represent, that is engagement, wedding day, marriage and the period of mourning. Every period is represented by two couples that are analysed and compared. The conclusion is an attempt to present the principles that seem to emerge from the comparison.

"Temné" charaktery hlavních postav a užití černého humoru v Sakiho povídkách jako nástroj kritiky soudobé společnosti
FABIÁNOVÁ, Nikol
The bachelor thesis deals with a literary topic of the main characters in H. H. Munro?s short stories. His workings are well known for their humour but many of them have almost macabre background. To uncover the author?s reasons for such attitude, there were chosen eight of his more or less known short stories to be analysed. The determining of Munro?s perspective of social criticism was interesting especially because of the historical background. He wrote his best pieces of work at the turn of the 19th and 20th century which was the end of one of the most famous and successful era of the Great Britain. Munro?s own burning life situation is reflected in his work as well.

Charles Baudelaire Translator of Edgar Allan Poe
VACOVSKÁ, Marta
This diploma thesis is focused on the topic of Ch. Baudelaire?s translations of E. A. Poe?s work. The main aim is to show the similarities of these translations and differences between them. It was achieved by using the methods of comparative analysis of the original and the target texts. The motives which led Baudelaire to choose Poe and his work represent the significant role. Last but not least the author reflects the question of Poe?s influence on the work of Baudelaire. The results of the research were achieved with the help of specialised literature, original English texts and their French translations which constitute the basis of the comparative analysis.
