Kamenická, Andrea ; Vaněk, Václav (advisor) ; Heczková, Libuše (referee)
The dissertation entitled "Religious Issues in Karolina Světlá's Ještěd Novels" deals with an analysis of the Ještěd Novels by the author Karolina Světlá. It characterises the depiction of vernacular devoutness in the novels by means of an analysis of the changes in the characters' religious consciousness and their subsequent interpretation. The paper confronts the fictional depiction of the various forms of religiousness with real historic facts; the most important factors of the religious positions of the "long" 19th century are verified on the scale of the Ještěd Novels. The objective of the paper is to shed light on the progressive qualitative changes in Karolina Světlá's works of prose and interpret them against the backdrop of the defined problem area, which is the period concept of devoutness and attitudes to faith as such.

E. Šlechta. The work focuses on the literary depiction of life at the bottom of Czech society in the late 19th and early 20th century. Since this is avast topic, I decided to focus attention on two important thematic areas that played in the literature of the period an important role. The first part focuses on the phenomenon of the pub and people associated with it. It tries to point out the stereotyping display space and the appearance of these. Further notes the diversity of characters that fill this environment. It follows the features of both groups, but also the diversity of their rendition of the individual authors. The second section focuses on the work of the Prague underground. Pays attention to both its appearance, but also various ways of its use by humans and changes in the underground at a later time.
