This dissertation focus on how are processed life stories of three romantic literature authors in a 19th century fiction. The dissertation examines the novel Zrádce národa by Eduard Rüffer, where is a character named Lapin, who coppies life of a writer Karel Sabina, the novel Ztracený život by Gustav Pfleger-Moravský, whose protagonist Jaromír Olšovský was inspired by life of a revolutionary Josef Václav Frič, and a short story Naši předchůdci by Josef Václav Frič, which narrates life of a poet Josef Jaroslav Kalina.

The image of the Bohemian forest in Czech and German-written literature since 1945. Landscape lost and rediscovered homeland, the space of meeting and passing by of the nationes
Denková, Helena ; Vaněk, Václav (advisor) ; Holý, Jiří (referee)
The image of the Bohemian Forest in Czech as well as in German written literature is above all determined by the troubled geopolitical development of this region. Most of Czech texts about Šumava originated during the time of the communist regime, while German-writing authors concern themselves with this theme mainly only after the year 1989. The Bohemian Forest is usually considered an area on the Czech side of the border by the Czechs, German-writing authors, on the contrary, regard the Bohemian Forest, i.e. "Böhmerwald" as a region going beyond borders, belonging geographically, historically and culturally to the borderland of the three states. The Bohemian Forest represents landscape as well as civilisation in both Czech and German written texts. Literature reflects particularly on current topics such as, for example, nature preservation, vanished German villages, the rediscovery of the Bohemian Forest after the year 1989 and others. Authors writing in Czech as well as ones writing in German also deal with the problem of relationships between the Czech and the Germans.

The principle of montage in the composition of prosaic literary work
Vávra, Jan ; Mravcová, Marie (advisor) ; Vaněk, Václav (referee)
The thesis examines the specificities of the different concepts of "Assembly principle" (principle of "Montage") in expert literary studies. Making use of this theoretical base, it dares to classify phenomenon. They are also analysed selected prose literary works of twenties and thirties of 20th century, in which the Montage apply. The thesis points to some of the world's pioneering novels, in which their authors discover the possibilities of the method (Joyce, Dos Passos, Döblin). Special attention is paid to the presence of "Montage" in the Czech utopian fiction novels. The Montage is used in a specific way to enlarge the effect of the (utopian) content - see: War with the Newts by Karel Čapek, "Dům o tisíci patrech" (House of Thousand Floors) by Jan Weiss or Jiří Haussmann's "Velkovýroba cnosti" (Mass production of Virtue). In addition to the Utopia appearance the Montage is used as a tool of author's game with readers - e.g. in the book "Robinsonáda" by Karel Konrád, representative of the Czech Poetism (literary movement).

The poetics of space in the fairy tales of the Grimm brothers and in the selected fairy tales of Karel Jaromír Erben
Ledinská, Šárka ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Vaněk, Václav (referee)
The poetics of space is a very interesting field, which has been so far marginalized from the theoretic point of view in comparison with other types of the poetics of literary work. Fragmentary information devoted to this theme has often been hidden in theoretic works that applied the poetics of space to some specific literary works. To be able to start focusing myself on the poetics of space in fairy tales, I had to lay the basis for the poetics of space in the first part of my thesis. The basis is built by the chapters in which I was concerned with the poetics of literary work and where I collected, organized and made transparent actual theoretic information about the poetics of space and its parts, space and place. I used these chapters for the specification of the terms used in my thesis. That specification enabled me to focus on the poetics of space in the fairy tales in the second part of thesis. As my research material I chose Grimms' fairy tales and eight Erben's fairy tales. I used this material to verify the relevance of particular hypotheses. In terms of my research I concerned on topics such as the poetics of space from the wider and the closer point of view, the boundaries of the fairy tales' space, the description and the layout of the space, the main and the side character in the...

Hesová, Petra ; Vaněk, Václav (advisor) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
The thesis deals with the prose work written by KAREL SABINA in the period from 1835 till 1848. The starting point of the thesis is an analysis of Hesperidky (Ervín), a not very well-known story, through which the author shows general features of romantic literature in the Czech as well as in the European context. In the next chapter we can find characteristic of the typical heroes of Sabinas works, in particular it means a tramp, a gravedigger, an executioner and different images of female characters.

The two forms of "pabeni" (palavering) in Czech literature
Zaorálek, Ondřej ; Kořená, Markéta (advisor) ; Vaněk, Václav (referee)
Based on chosen publications of Bohumil Hrabal, this thesis attempts to theoretically and interpretively define "palavering" (as a strategy of narration) and a "palaverer" (as a specific kind of narrator). This is related to the characteristics of Hrabal's narration strategy and his description of the world, and as well to the study of his motives and prose subject matters. The diploma paper follows style changes in Hrabal's work and at the same time observes its constants. In its conclusion, this thesis attempts to outline Hrabal's relation to Ladislav Klima and to demonstrate the legacy of this writer in the work of Bohumil Hrabal.

Love and faith. Erotic motives in Jaroslav Durych's writing.
Paukerová, Lucie ; Vaněk, Václav (advisor) ; Wiendl, Jan (referee)
The present thesis focuses on the relation between religion and sexuality on chosen works of the catholic author Jaroslav Durych (1886-1962). It deals with his essayistic work, which contains the author's concept of art, as well as with his poetry and prose, in which he examines erotic motives and the image of a woman-virgin. The aim of this thesis is to show, how Durych, as a substantive catholic, deals with the topic of sexuality, in which contexts he puts the sensual beauty of a girl and what meaning creates Eros in his writing. Inter alia, the thesis also deals with specific aspects and motives of Durych's erotica and pays a big attention to the analysis of the girl heroines whose mutual similarity and interchangeability, their fixed way of imaging and the idealized image create a standardized woman heroine of Durych's works - called in the thesis "the nude girl", who is the intersection of Eros, the religious ethics and the motive of poverty.
