As a foundation material I used a novelette Six Months, Three Days written by Charlie Jane Anders. The thesis is divided into practical part and theoretical part. The first, practical part consists of the translation of the whole novelette Six Months, Three Days. The second, theoretical part consists of my analysis of the translation, which is focused on the problems I had to solve during the translation process. I comment on the choices I made, usually justifying by translation theories of Jiří Levý and Dagmar Knittlová. Key words Translation, Six Months, Three Days, Charlie Jane Anders, connotation, lexical equivalence, diminutives, proper names, morphological equivalence, analogy, reference, idioms, collocation.
