Interpretation of WWII in Novels of Authors in Exile after February 1948 - Oblak a valčík of Ferdinand Peroutka and Dvorní šašci of Viktor Fischl
JEDLIČKA, Tomáš
This bachelor thesis deals with the interpretation of two novels, one written by Ferdinand Peroutka, Oblak a valčík, and the other by Viktor Fischl, Dvorní šašci. The core theoretical framework of this thesis is based on the methodological basis provided by Paul Ricoeurs's books Time and Narrative and Oneself as Another, and Hayden White's Tropics of Discourse and Metahistory. The interpretation mainly focuses on the representation of characters of victims of the Second World War, and Holocaust respectively. The last chapter itself contextualises the novel and puts it into the particular context of Czech exile literature, and relates particular authorial strategies found in these novels to the sociopolitical thinking of their respective authors.
