Bystroňová, Klára ; Válová, Karolina (advisor) ; Svobodová, Petra (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with very significant creatures of Brazilian folklore: the gnome Saci-Pererê and the witch Cuca, whose fame was earned in the 20th century by the Brazilian writer José Bento Renato Monteiro Lobato. The aim of the thesis is to introduce Brazilian folklore and characterize both researched beings in general and in Monteiro Lobato's work. Lastly, the goal is to describe the portrayal of Saci and Cuca in literature, possibly in TV series and film, and the potential shift from the "canon" created by Monteiro Lobato.
