Turková, Barbora ; Vaněk, Václav (advisor) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to introduce the personality and works of Karel Ladislav Kukla, an author who was sidelined, in today's literary context. The thesis presents Kukla primarily as a Prague author at the turn of the 20th century, who dealt with the fate of people affected by social poverty, in his own words called "the Prague mud", against a background of significant socio-cultural changes. In his works, Kukla managed to capture, with a great deal of authenticity, significant social and cultural phenomena taking place in Prague such as the renewal and cessation of existence of the original nightclub quarters; the post-war housing situation and the emergence and development of slum colonies. In individual chapters of the thesis, the author analyses the works of Karel Ladislav Kukla in the context of the aforementioned phenomena, which are set within a broader literary-cultural framework. Key words Karel Ladislav Kukla, Prague, the turn of the 19th century, czech literature, prostitution, margin of society, renewal, slums

Strousberg bought the manor farm estate Zbiroh in 1868. He intended to build a large railroad centre in this area which would later be called "Czech Manchester." His ambitious business activities (refurbishment of already existing factories and building of new ones, railways construction) collapsed during the depression of the 1870's. This thesis deals not only with the basics of the entrepreneurship and its development but predominantly with the causes of its fall. Standard methods of business history and regional history were used to write this thesis.
