Centek, Kristián ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Malá, Markéta (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on translation of selected chapters from the novel The Revisionaries, written by an American author A. R. Moxon. The translation is performed from English language to Czech language and the chapters were selected based chiefly on their linguistic properties. The first part of this thesis, the theoretical introduction, introduces the reader to translation and the theoretical process of translating. Furthermore, it highlights potential issues a translator can stumble upon whilst translating the mentioned novel. In the practical part, four chapters are translated and displayed in a side-by-side format with the original text. The third part of this thesis scrutinises the Czech translated text on the basis of secondary sources, the bulk of which consists of canonical Czech translation studies. Thus, the aim of this part is to justify the Czech translation and to explain the particular decisions which were made during the translation. Keywords translation, novel, fiction, analysis, Moxon, Revisionaries
